Life Insurance

Hi Teo and I see it's your first post on the Community so a warm welcome 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 way back in 1999 at 43 with a rare, incurable but treatable type of Low Grade Non Hodgkin’s Lymphoma eventually reaching Stage 4a in late 2013 so although my Lymphoma ‘type’ may be different I do appreciate the challenges of this journey rather well.

Life Insurance when living with a Low Grade NHL will be a problem. My life insurance fortunately run the length of our mortgage then once the mortgage was paid off I never was able to get any further substantial life insurance apart for over 50s cover that basically only cover the cost of a funeral if that.

Could I suggest you get in contact with an insurance broker as they may well have a better chance of finding something for you but I expect the premiums will be high.

The Community is actually divided into dedicated Support Groups (Discussion Rooms) but with over 60 types and sub-types of Lymphoma we can’t have a group for every type but these are our main Lymphoma groups below.

General Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma

Follicular Lymphoma

Mantel Cell Lymphoma

T-cell lymphomas

CLL, SLL, HCL

These groups are safe places to talk to others with a similar diagnosis, treatment experience, to ask questions and get support.

To join a group click on the “Bold Link” I have created above then once the group page opens click on “Click to Join” when the black banner appears or “Join” under “Group Tools” (this all depends on the device you are using)

You can put up your own post and introduce yourself to the group by clicking “+new” or “+” in the top right next to the group title. You can copy and paste the text from this post into your new post. You can also scroll through other members posts and click “Reply” to get involved.

Always around to chat.

Thank you so much for sharing your journey and the advice
