Haematology support groups
York Haematology Support Group
York Haematology Support Group is a small but active group of patients, family members and friends affected by haematological cancers.
It is run by Carol Miller and meets on the first Thursday of every month at the Working Mens Club in Huntington. Meetings offer the chance to get together in an informal environment and chat to others and most months there is also a guest speaker invited to talk about various aspects of living with blood cancers.
Anyone affected by a haematological cancer is welcome to attend the Group and can contact Carol for more information.
