I got my confirmed diagnosis yesterday. Whilst I knew it was coming I was still stunned. Spent time telling loved ones and today emotionally I am a mess. I cannot stop crying on and off all day, the dull pain in my bowel is a constant reminder of the NHL to be treated which pain killers only take the edge off and I just feel cheated angry and despairing.  Not feeling brave or strong 

  • Hi, I'm on and off the forum at bit, but just found your post.  I don't pretend to know how relapse must feel, can only imagine, you're entitled to feel angry.   but I've just done NHL treatment 2020, it's doable, I was petrified but did it, only because I had no choice!!  There are loads of treatments available now and not as traumatic as they were so i'm told.  Do you have a treatment plan yet?
