September is Blood Cancer Awareness Month, an important time to raise awareness about blood cancers such as leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma. Blood cancers affect millions of people globally, and early detection can significantly improve outcomes. In this blog, we’ll discuss the types of blood cancer, common symptoms, and how you can take steps to protect your blood health.

Types of Blood Cancer

1. Leukemia: This cancer affects the blood-forming tissues, including bone marrow, leading to the production of abnormal white blood cells that hinder the body’s ability to fight infections.
2. Lymphoma: Lymphomas affect the lymphatic system, which plays a crucial role in the body’s immune response. The most common types are Hodgkin’s lymphoma and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
3. Myeloma: Multiple myeloma is a cancer of plasma cells, a type of white blood cell found in the bone marrow. This cancer weakens the immune system and affects bone health.

Common Symptoms to Watch For

• Persistent fatigue
• Unexplained weight loss
• Frequent infections
• Easy bruising or bleeding
• Bone pain or fractures

If you or a loved one experience any of these symptoms, it’s important to consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation. Early detection is critical to improving outcomes in blood cancer treatment.
