Hi.
I am 36 years old and In September 2019 I was diagnosed with Grey Zone Lymphoma. Was treated at Barts hospital with R-Chop chemotherapy and also R-ICE for the final stages. Happy to say was successful. I also then went through a stem cell transplant using my own stem cells. Possibly the worse part of the whole experience.
I am now coming up to 6 months post transplant. I am keen to hear from anyone who has been through anything similar including the stem cell. I generally feel well these days but has been up and down. And also tough dealing with the feeling after cancer.
Thank You
Ben
Hi Ben and a very warm welcome to the online community
I'm glad to hear that your treatment was successful but it's always good to talk to others with a similar experience.
As you know, the community is divided up into groups so I hope you don't mind me recommending that you also join and post in the stem cell transplants group and also the hodgkin lymphoma and B-cell lymphoma groups where you can ask questions, share experiences and get support from others with the same type of cancer.
To join just click on the links I've created and then choose 'click to join' or 'join' (depending on the device you're using) on the pages that opens. You can then introduce yourself and copy and paste your post from here into a new post in the groups..
When you have a minute, it would be really useful if you could pop something about your journey so far into your profile as it really helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.

Hi there, ok great. Yes I shall do that. Sorry new to the forum. thank you :-)
No need to apologise , you haven't done anything wrong, it's just that you're more likely to connect with others who have the same or similar diagnosis as yourself in the groups I suggested. If you need any help finding your way around just give me a shout.
