Welcome to the LINC Website, a site dedicated to supporting patients and their families affected by leukaemia, lymphoma and other blood cancers.
No-one knows how they will react when diagnosed with cancer, it can be a life changing experience. Not only do we have to face our own mortality but also the prospect of surgery, chemotherapy and possible radiotherapy.
There often follows a long in patient stay in hospital whilst intensive chemotherapy is given. It is rather like being hit with a sledge hammer - one moment you don't feel to bad and the next you are flattened by the diagnosis and the treatment.
The intensive chemotherapy will wipe out most of the blood count so the patient is totally dependant on medical support. There are no white cells in the blood to fight infection so patients are kept in isolation.
This is where LINC come in. By providing financial support and funding a clinical psychologist we can help to provide psychological support, helping to keep families and relationships together.
LINC provides help at the sharp end - at diagnosis and during the initial treatment.
