Background

Fund a national lymphoma awareness campaign with the aim of increasing public awareness of the signs and symptoms of lymphoma so that people are better able to recognise unexplained or persistent symptoms and seek medical advice.

Additional details

Lymphoma is one of the UK’s most common cancers, yet public awareness remains dangerously low. Early symptoms like a single swollen gland are easily mistaken for minor infections, causing severe diagnostic delays. Many patients, including myself, present with a single symptom. We must encourage early detection to catch this cancer early and save lives.
