  • Hi  and welcome to the Community but so sorry to see you finding us.

    I am Mike  and I help out in our various blood cancer groups.

    We do have a very supportive Follicular lymphoma group, this is the place where you will open up your concerns to a wider audience who know exactly what your dad and the family are going through at the moment.

    Just follow the link I have created then hit the ‘Join This Group’ tab just under the main group name, then go to the 'Start a Discussion' tab and set up your very own Discussion and introduce yourself to the group and ask your questions.

    I had another type of Non Hodgkins Lymphoma, I was stage 4 and was diagnosed in 1999 and I have to say from my long experience that blood cancers are now very treatable (regardless of the stage) with great results so be encouraged. But posting in the FL group will give you some great support and keep your support together.

    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.......like .

    I will keep an eye open for you.
