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.
