Hi all,
My son was diagnosed at 20 with stage 2 lymphoma. He found it while at uni away from home.
I’m very grateful and we feel fortunate as it’s treatable and the hospital has been so good.
Treatment I’m pleased to say is going well and he has handled everything amazing. In fact prob better than me.
Just if I’m honest as a parent I feel its slightly broke me, not that I’ll show him. Just I feel it’s been an absolute roller coaster of emotions.
So I just wondered if anyone else had experienced similar and did you have any support or counselling.
Thanks
