SUTTON SCOTNEY COMMUNITY CAFE IS ONCE AGAIN SUPPORTING BLOOD CANCER UK

Blood cancer is a type of cancer that affects your blood cells. Leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma are some of the most common types of blood cancer. There are also types called MPNs and MDS.

Blood cancer is caused by changes (mutations) in the DNA within blood cells. This causes the blood cells to start behaving abnormally. In almost all cases, these changes are linked to things we can’t control. They happen during a person’s lifetime, so they are not genetic faults you can pass on.

Some types of blood cancer affect children. Symptoms and treatment can be different between children and adults.

Around 40,000 people are diagnosed with a blood cancer each year in the UK, and about 280,000 people are currently living with blood cancer.

Please help support this valuable research by eating your own body weight in cake. Our Community Cafe bakers are already sorting out who does what and they will be bringing a huge variety of cakes with them. See you on the 15th!
