A community that helps people talk about and cope with the fifth most common cancer in Canada. A community that invites you to get and give support.

Lymphoma Canada advocates for timely and equitable access to novel lymphoma therapies, aiming to ensure all Canadians receive the best quality healthcare. Every Canadian deserves the opportunity to receive the best quality healthcare, including local access to all Health Canada approved lymphoma therapies with minimal delay. Currently, there is a disparity in available treatments depending on which province or territory a lymphoma patient resides in. These inequities include but are not limited to long delays in accessing approved treatments, financial challenges in affording therapy not funded in a patient’s home province, thereby requiring travel for treatment, and lack of support network when receiving treatment.
