Many people with #lymphoma will initially have mild or few symptoms. The most common one is a painless swelling in the neck, groin, or under the arm. If your GP suspects lymphoma, they’ll feel your lymph nodes & abdomen to check for swollen organs. #WorldLymphomaDay

Disability means different things to different people, impacting daily life in unique ways. We must address gaps in healthcare equity and empower individuals with disabilities and their caregivers to participate in cancer screening. Everyone deserves access to the care they need.
