Borrowing from the original expression of 'It takes a village to raise a child,' it can also be said that it takes a village to fight and conquer cancer.
The Blood Cancer Alliance of the Philippines was officially launched to help the Filipino blood cancer warriorsDrawing inspiration from the classic adage"It requires a community to nurture a child," we can similarly assert that battling and triumphing over cancer necessitates a collective effort. While the physical struggle is borne by one individual, the emotional and mental fortitude is profoundly influenced by the uplifting support of loved ones and the hope they provide.
Blood cancer originates from genetic mutations in blood cells, with Lymphoma, Leukemia, and Myeloma being the most prevalent forms. According to the World Health Organization's Global Cancer Observatory, the Philippines witnesses approximately 5,000 instances of Lymphoma, 6,000 cases of Leukemia, and 800 cases of Myeloma diagnosed each year. This translates to nearly 12,000 Filipinos annually receiving a blood cancer diagnosis.
Lymphoma Philippines is a non-profit organization for Lymphoma patients, survivors, and caregivers with the aim of spreading awareness and education about Lymphoma and connecting the community through medically-approved Lymphoma-related campaigns in the country.
Jheric and Anna also recognize that there is a bigger battle to be fought and more people willing to support the cause, all united by blood. In line with this, Lymphoma Philippines officially launches the Blood Cancer Alliance of the Philippines this World Lymphoma Awareness Month.
