Self Care Week, 14-20 November 2022

We're supporting the charity Self Care Forum in the Self Care Week from 14 to 20 November. The theme of this year's initiative is 'exercise self care for life'. Self Care Forum aim to raise awareness of the ways in which people can improve their mental health and physical wellbeing.

Taking good care of yourself is vital to overall health and wellbeing. This includes taking physical activity, eating well, managing stress and getting enough sleep and rest.

If you're affected by lymphoma, looking after yourself can be especially important in helping you to prepare for, and recover well, from treament. Find resources to help you live well, with and beyond lymphoma on our website:
