Hi and a warm welcome to the Macmillan Online Community although sorry that you had to find us and especially sorry to hear about your suspected Lymphoma diagnosis.
I am Mike Thehighlander and I help out around our blood cancer groups. I was diagnosed back in 1999 with a rare skin Non Hodgkin’s Lymphoma so have been on this journey rather a long time.
The diagnosis of Lymphoma can be long and complicated as there are over 60 types and subtypes of Lymphoma.
I am happy to support you on this thread mainly due to going into any one of Lymphoma groups could initially be counterproductive.
If and when you have a Lymphoma diagnosis we do have a few group (not for a 60) covering the main types
General Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma
