Booklets
We have a wide range of booklets for patients and their family/whanau and friends, which are reviewed by haematologists. These include information about blood cancers and related conditions, their treatment, and support available.
Our ‘Blood Cancer and Conditions’ booklet is available in 7 languages; Maori, Samoan, Tongan, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Korean and Hindi.
Videos
LBC have produced a wide range of videos providing a comprehensive overview of blood cancer with focus on bone marrow biology, disease specific information, and management strategies. You can find many of these on our Youtube channel.
Children’s books
We currently have four picture books which have been written specially for children who have been diagnosed with a blood cancer, also useful when a family member has been diagnosed. They describe the processes of diagnosis and treatment, and are a helpful tool to explain these concepts to children.
Publications
We produce four magazines: LifeBlood, Leukaemia Today, Lymphoma Today, Myeloma Today which feature patient stories, coping strategies and important information for those affected by blood cancer. You can find our latest publications in the Information Booklets section of our website.
