A SUPPORT group to help people affected by blood cancer is being launched in Bangor.

It is for anyone in the city or surrounding areas affected by lymphoma, myeloma or leukaemia.

Lymphoma Action, a charity dedicated to this type of cancer, hosts the group at Cae Garnedd, Penrhosgarnedd, from 2pm to 3.30pm, on Thursday February 6. The group will meet at the venue on the first Thursday of alternate months. It supports those affected by a diagnosis of any blood cancer. Friends, family members or colleagues of people with the conditions are welcome.

Karen Bonell, Lymphoma Action’s regional development manager, said: “I’m so pleased to launch a Bangor support group.

“Many people say to us they feel isolated by their blood cancer diagnosis and that a support group is a lifeline. As well as meeting others with similar experiences, it’s a chance to hear from informative speakers and join interesting discussions – all in a safe, supportive and welcoming environment.”
