After three previous primary tumours in the last 30 years I wasnt expecting to be here again. . 
such is life. 

  • 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

    Hodgkin's Lymphoma

    General Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma

    Follicular Lymphoma

    Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma

    Mantel Cell Lymphoma

    T-Cell Lymphoma

    It’s always good to talk so do call the Macmillan Support Services on 0808 808 00 00 - most services are open 8am to 8pm, 7 days a week Clicking here to see what is available.

    This service provides lots of cancer information, support, financial guidance or just a listening ear.

    We also have Cancer Nurse Team in our Ask an Expert section, but do allow two working days for replies from our expert team.

    If I can help you further please get back to me ((hugs))

    Mike (Thehighlander)
