    Alberta Blood Cancer Resource Guide The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada Prairies Region #316, 1212 31 Avenue NE Calgary, AB T2E 7S8 403-263-5300 Toll-free 1.866.547.5433 (press 2 for Alberta) www.llscanada.org Updated January 2017 1 The mission of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada is to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families. This resource guide has been developed to make it easier for those affected by blood cancers (patients, family or other caregivers) to access a complex healthcare and social service system and find the services to match your individual situation and style. This guide is a “work in progress,” not a complete list, and your comments and suggestions are welcome. Knowing what you need and expressing those needs are the first steps in finding information and support. A cancer diagnosis can bring a sense of vulnerability and some people feel uncomfortable asking for assistance. However, you are not alone in this experience, so please let others know what you need! This includes family members, as most organizations provide services for patients and their immediate family. If during your search for services you cannot find what you need, please inform staff about the need anyway. Identifying needs is the way to raise awareness and create change. Even if a particular organization does not offer a service, staff may be able to connect you with others who are working toward the same goals. Please be an informed consumer and evaluate these services according to your own situation.
