It also explains how to prepare for treatment and what to expect from it.
It also offers practical advice on managing side effects, keeping well during treatment, taking part in clinical trials for WM & LPL, and finding support. WMUK wrote the guide with expert healthcare professionals and people living with WM and LPL.
