Hi
I got diagnosed just after Christmas. Stage 2b
I will be receiving 6 months AVBD. I have done my first one,,11 to go!
I wanted to join here as I don't like talking to my family about it and would like you hear about other peoples experiences.
Still a bit shell shocked.
Hi and a warm welcome to the Online Community but sorry that you needed to find us. I am also very sorry to hear about your HL diagnosis.
A blood cancer diagnosis brings many questions, lots of confusion and stress. Having been diagnosed back in 1999 with NHL I understand the challenges but talking with other people who are on the same type of journey will help you navigate this rollercoaster.
The Community is organised into dedicated support groups and I can see you have joined our supportive Hodgkin lymphoma group, this will be a good place to connect with others navigating the same type of cancer journey.
