Lymphoma Patients Association of Romania (Romania)

Scope of organisation

Other

Description

The association aims to help patients suffering from lymphoma and leukemia by increasing the level of knowledge about this disease to recognize the signs and symptoms, which would lead to an early detection of the disease and the possibility of starting treatment in time.

Within the Association, people from all categories are involved: doctors, patients who have been cured, patients in treatment, relatives, etc.

Through this Association, patients have the opportunity to get in touch with each other, to share their experiences to help them live a life as normal as possible and last but not least to know the rights of the patient.

The patient with lymphoma or leukemia needs support from both medical staff and family, friends or other patients who have had the same experience.
