Watch and Wait (also known as Active Monitoring)

What's in the booklet?

Some blood cancers progress rapidly and require immediate treatment. Others progress slowly, and you may not experience any symptoms for a while or at all. Therefore, the presence of these blood cancers does not cause any symptoms or affect your quality of life. They only require treatment when it is absolutely necessary. These blood cancers can be managed using watch and wait, also referred to as ‘active monitoring’ or ‘watchful waiting’.

The hardcopy version of this booklet can be ordered free of charge to UK addresses.
