Mindfulness... by podcast

PEOPLE with blood cancer are being helped by mindfulness sessions on podcast.

Studies have shown the psychological impact of blood cancers on patients, and David Innes, Chair of the Chronic Lymphocytic Lymphoma Support Association, explained: ‘Blood cancer patients are often managed in early stages through a watch-and-wait strategy.

‘The psychological implications of being told you have cancer but then being told you won’t be actively treated cannot be underestimated.

‘In unsettling times such as these, mindfulness techniques could make a significant difference to patients and their loved ones.’
