The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society

Did you know...The Society reimburses patients up to $500 a year in financial aid.  If you know someone interested in this benefit, please have them contact our Patient Services Manager, Libby Gordon, at Libby.Gordon@lls.org

Research: 
Since 1949, LLS has invested more than $550 million in research, $66.5 million in fiscal year 2007 alone.  Society-funded research has directly contributed to many breakthrough cancer treatments, such as, chemotherapy, bone marrow and stem cell transplantation and new, targeted oral therapies such as GleevecTM, might never have happened were it not for the kinds of research funded by LLS.

Patient Services: The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society provides a wide range of services to patients such as family support groups, an extensive educational web site with web "chat" support programs, free seminars and conferences, and direct patient financial aid.
