Hi 

After months of tests for what I thought was early menopause, today I have been diagnosed with Follicular non Hodgkin lymphoma. 
I have a pet scan on Wednesday to determine the stage.

Has anyone else been through this?

just feeling extremely anxious about it.

Many thanks Rach 

  • Hi  and a very warm welcome to the online community

    I'm sorry to read that you've just been diagnosed with follicular lymphoma. Although I had a completely different type of cancer to you I can remember how numb and shocked I felt when first told.

    As the online community is divided up into different support groups I'm going to recommend that you join the follicular lymphoma group where you can ask questions, share experiences and get support.

    To join just click on the link I've created and then choose 'click to join' or 'join' (depending on the device you're using) on the page that opens. You can then introduce yourself and post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'. 

    It would be great if you could pop something about your journey so far into your profile as it really helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.

    If you have any difficulty navigating the community just drop me a reply and I'll be pleased to help.
