Dear Editor,

Lymphoma Action, the only UK charity dedicated to lymphoma are hosting a free Living with COVID-19 webinar on Thursday, May 5, from 10am to 11am.

People with lymphoma, the most common blood cancer, were recognized as being clinically extremely vulnerable to COVID-19.

Now that COVID-19 restrictio­ns have been lifted and the busy summer months are approachin­g, people may have different thoughts about the risk of COVID-19, and the measures they want to take to protect themselves and others.

The live Q&A webinar speaker panel will include Dr Graham Collins, a Consultant Haematolog­ist and Lymphoma Lead, who will answer medical and practical questions.

Gillian, who is living with lymphoma, will provide a personal insight and talk about her experience of having COVID-19 and lymphoma.

They will be joined by Psychologi­st, Angela Waind who will discuss how to adjust and move forward in a COVID-19 world.

Chairing the webinar will be

Dallas Pounds, Services Director at Lymphoma Action.

Everybody is likely to feel differentl­y about the risk of COVID-19, some people might be keen to return to a more ‘normal’ way of living, while others might be anxious about mixing with other people.
