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  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

      Follicular Lymphoma

      Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma

      Mantel Cell Lymphoma

      T-cell lymphomas

    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.
