Just diagnosed

Less than one minute read time.

I cant really believe the diagnosis is right. I keep thinking they have it wrong. Marginal Zone Lymphoma. Other people get cancer, not me. I feel healthy and my friends and family think I’m over reacting. It seems it’s only be found by chance. I feel a bit neglected by the hospital as everything seems to take so long. If I’m ill, then they need to do something about it.

  • It is hard to take in when yyou get that diagnosis. Try not to worry as I would imagine the hospital are working out a treatment plan tailored for you. All the best to you.

  • Thanks for your comment. I’m sorry I sounded rather cross in my post, when I’m not an angry person! I’m cross with this silly disease that has reared its ugly head and put my life on hold. But I’m sure most people feel like that?

  • Hi  and welcome to the Macmillan Online Community although sorry that you had to find us and especially sorry to hear about your Lymphoma diagnosis.

    I am Mike and I help out around our Lymphoma groups. I was diagnosed back in 1999 with a rare, incurable Low Grade skin Non Hodgkin’s Lymphoma so I understand this journey rather well.

    I see you have joined our General Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma group, why not click on the Green (Bold) links I have created above. Then once the group page opens you can then introduce yourself by putting up a ‘new post’ by clicking in the box near the top right with + New or + (Depending on the device you are using) and you are ready to go.

    I will keep an eye open for you but if you are not sure what type you have pleased do get back to me on this post and I will help you out further.

  • Hi me too no symptoms fit as a flee, but suspected Lymphoma!! Waiting for biopsy and scan ! X

  • Best of luck for your results. If it helps, I’ve just started on Rituximab and still feel fine. I feel more settled now treatment has begun. Fingers crossed Fingers crossed
