Approaching Tough Conversations with Confidence
New resources help patients and care partners have tough conversions
15 September marks World Lymphoma Awareness Day (WLAD), and this year, we are focused on empowering people living with lymphoma and care partners approach tough conversations with greater confidence.
Being diagnosed with lymphoma or CLL can be overwhelming – physically, emotionally, personally and professionally. According to the Lymphoma Coalition’s 2024 Global Patient Survey, 67% of people living with lymphoma reported emotional effects like anxiety, depression and fear of the cancer coming back or getting worse. Yet many aren’t talking to their healthcare teams or seeking support.
Empower People with Honest Talk Conversation Starters

Building on the success of the original Honest Talk Conversation Starter launched in 2024 to help people talk about how they are feeling, we present three new resources to tackle more sensitive topics:

Discussing a Diagnosis or Prognosis

Returning to Work

Care Partner Support
Speaking honestly with family, friends, healthcare teams and employers can help them understand what you are experiencing and foster better, more supportive relationships.
