Summary

This study is testing whether hypnosis can reduce anxiety in adults recently diagnosed with certain blood cancers (lymphoma). Fifty participants will have their anxiety levels measured before starting hypnosis sessions and again after two and three sessions. The goal is to see if this mind-body technique can help patients feel calmer during their cancer journey.
