Member’s description

Blodcancerförbundet, the Danish Blood Cancer Association, was founded in 1982 and has around 4700 members. Our members have all kinds of blood cancer diseases and consist of both patients and relatives. We are a non-profit, politically- and religiously independent organization built on democratic principles consisting of 14 local organizations spread all across the country.

Our main purpose is to foster the needs of those affected by blood cancer or other serious blood diseases. Our mission consists of 3 pillars; good/equivalent treatment to everybody in Sweden with a blood cancer disease (independent of where they live), to increase the knowledge of what it is like to live in Sweden today with blood cancer, and to promote research within the field of hematology. We also dispose of a fund – ”The Blood Cancer Fund”, that three times a year distributes grants mainly to research within the field of hematology.

Organizational objectives and key programs

Our organizational objectives are:

• To face the social stigma associated with the disease and its treatment.
• To develop a spirit of solidarity and mutual support in favor of the psychological and social rehabilitation of the oncological patients.
• To raise awareness of cancer prevention and treatment and to ultimately communicate the message that cancer is not invincible.

Our key programs are:

• Support Home;
• Personal Assistant of the Cancer Patient;
• Stress Management seminar for onco-nurses;
• Psychological support groups for patients & for caregivers;
• Digital World, a seminar for patients without digital skills.
