Being diagnosed with hairy cell leukaemia (HCL) can be a shock, particularly when you may have never heard of it. If you have questions about HCL – what causes it, who gets it, how it affects your body, what symptoms to expect and likely treatments – this booklet covers the basics for you.
In this booklet, you’ll also find useful advice about how to get the best from your haematologist, plus practical advice on how to help important people in your life understand such a rare condition. For more information, talk to your haematologist or clinical nurse specialist.
