Hi I'm Kelly. 

I was diagnosed with NHL in October 2018 and I'm about to start chemo next Thursday for the first time. I'm so worried about how I'm going to feel after the treatment. I'm keeping my fingers crossed I'm fine. 

  • Hi  and warm welcome to the Macmillan Online Community although sorry that you had to find us and especially sorry to hear about your NHL diagnosis.

    A blood cancer diagnosis like NHL brings many questions, confusion and lots of stress, I know, as I was diagnosed way back in 1999 with a rare type of NHL.

    Each NHL treatment journey can be rather different but talking with others who are walking the same type of cancer journey will help you navigate this challenging time.

    The Community is organised into support groups so can I recommend you join our supportive

    General Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma

    Follicular Lymphoma

    Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma

    Mantel Cell Lymphoma

    T-Cell Lymphoma

    groups, this will be a good places to connect with patients and families navigating the same type of cancer journey.

    To join a group just click on the link above then choose 'click to join' or 'join' (depending on the device you're using) on the page that opens.

    You can then introduce yourself by putting up a ‘New Thread’ or hit the box with the X on the top right (phones), you could just copy and paste the text from this your first post. You can also join in with existing ‘Discussions’ by clicking on 'reply'. 

    I will keep an eye open for you.
