🩸 SEPTEMBER IS BLOOD CANCER AWARENESS MONTH
Blood cancer is not just one disease. It includes leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma and other cancers that affect the blood, bone marrow and lymphatic system.
The numbers remind us just how many families are touched by these diseases.
In the United States in 2026, the American Cancer Society estimates:
❤️ 67,790 people will be diagnosed with leukemia. (American Cancer Society)
❤️ 79,320 people will be diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. (American Cancer Society)
❤️ 36,000 people will be diagnosed with multiple myeloma. (American Cancer Society)
❤️ Another 8,920 people will be diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma. (American Cancer Society)
Those numbers are significant but behind every statistic is a person. A family. A story.
There are patients beginning treatment, survivors celebrating another milestone, caregivers walking beside someone they love, and families remembering someone they wish were still here.
This Blood Cancer Awareness Month, we honor them all.
May continued research bring better treatments, longer lives and, one day, cures.
Awareness. Support. Hope. ❤️
