I am 20 years old nhl patient i need to be guided by people who survived this cancer
Hi , welcome to the online community, but I sure wish you didn’t have to be here. I noticed your new to the site, I haven’t got the same cancer as you and to find the support your asking for you might want to try the link below they are a very busy and supportive group.
https://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer_types/non-hodgkin-lymphoma/discussions
due to your age you may also like to have a look at the diagnosed at a young age group for similar feelings maybe.

If you click on the links it will take you there you obviously know how to join a group and post as you’ve already done it once well done, it took me a few months to do that, I was a quiet reader, but it great to join in and support each other.
I hope you are keeping as well as you can at the moment.
Take care KT
Hi and a second welcome to the Online Community, although I am sorry to see you finding us and so sorry to hear about your NHL diagnosis.
I am Mike Thehighlander and I help out in our NHL groups. I was diagnosed with NHL way back in 1999 and am still around doing great so don’t panic.
As has been highlighted by my friend KTatHome we have a number of NHL support groups but as there is over 60 types of NHL we don’t have a group for each type but these are the main groups below.
General Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma
Follow the best link I've created above, join the group, then hit ‘start a discussion’ and you are ready to go.
I will keep an eye open for you, this can be treated very successfully and R-CHOP is a standard treatment that has been used for years with great success.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
