I am new to this and i might not reply straight away but on Friday I found out my mum has Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. I am really struggling to process everything as i have a lot going on in my life as well. I am not a sort of person who opens up easily either but I just feel so stressed and such high anxiety everyday.
Hi chel11 and welcome to the community..... I don't normally post in this group but noticed your post.
I am Mike and I help out around our Lymphoma groups.
I was diagnosed way back in 1999 at 43 with my first type of rare Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL) and I eventually reaching Stage 4a in late 2013 when a second type (also rare) of NHL appeared so I most definitely appreciate the challenges of this journey rather well....... but I am now 9+ years out from my last treatment, turned 69 last Nov and living a great life.
There are over 60 types and sub-types of Lymphoma so we can’t have a group for every type but these are our main Lymphoma groups below.
General Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma
These groups are safe places to talk to others with a similar diagnosis, treatment experience, to ask questions and get support from both patients and caregivers.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
