Living with lymphoma symposium this month
Participants must register
NEW HAVEN - The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, in collaboration with Yale-New Haven Hospital and Yale Cancer Center, will present a free educational program, "Living with Lymphoma: Developing Treatment Options," at 6 p.m. June 19 at the hospital.

Foss will be available to answer questions following her presentation.
Lymphoma is a general term for a group of cancers that originates in the lymphatic system. Lymphoma results when a lymphocyte (a type of white blood cell) undergoes a malignant change and begins to multiply, eventually crowding out healthy cells and creating tumors that enlarge the lymph nodes or other sites in the body. Fifty-three percent of the blood cancers diagnosed are lymphomas.
Registration is required and a complimentary dinner will be served. To register, call Shelley Carpenter at the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society at (203) 427-2049.
