*Why did I get blood cancer?
**
**
*We dont usually know what has caused an individual person's blood cancer but one thing is for certain; it is not your fault, you didn't do anything wrong.

Some important things to remember are:

*You cannot 'catch' blood cancers

*There is no evidence that it can be caused by anything you eat or drink

*Most blood cancers are not hereditary


*
*
You can find more information about causes of specific blood cancers and possible risk factors in the Diseases section and Epidemiology section of our main website.
