Hi to the Macmillan Community Team. Thank you for your introductory email following my joining the Online Community.
I was diagnosed with CLL last December and thought it might be helpful to me if I joined and that, over time, I might be able to contribute to help others.
Being a novice I'm not sure how to sign off this post!!!
Hi and welcome to the Online Community, although I am sorry to see you finding us.
It’s always good to have folks around to encourage and support.
Can I direct you to this link to our CLL, SLL, HCL group where you can connect with others on the same journey.
Just follow the link above, hitting ‘Join the Group’ tab just under the main group name, then go to the 'Start a Discussion' tab and set up your own Discussion and introduce yourself to the group - you could just copy an paste what you have in this first post.
Having been on my Lymphoma journey for 20 years you will see me around from time to time.
When you feel up to it try putting some information in your profile. This really helps others when answering. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. Just click on YOUR username, select 'Edit Profile'. Put as much or as little in your profile and you can amend it at any time - you can see members profiles by hitting our forum names.......Thehighlander
