Anyone dealt with pressure from a tumor in the back or stomach? 

  • Hi  and warm welcome to the Macmillan Online Community although sorry that you had to find us.

    I am Mike and I help out around our Lymphoma groups. I was diagnosed back in 1999 with a rare, incurable Low Grade Non Hodgkin’s Lymphoma so I understand this journey rather well.

    Lymphoma can develop basically anywhere in the body and as the tumour growths develop it’s not unusual for it/them to put pressure on organs and nerves developing pain…… in my case the pain I had from the growth in my neck was off the scale,

    I am assuming that you have a Lymphoma diagnosis, if so I would recommend you join one of our dedicated support groups listed below.

    Hodgkin's Lymphoma

    General Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma

    Follicular Lymphoma

    Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma

    Mantel Cell Lymphoma

    T-cell lymphomas

    CLL, SLL, HCL

    If you'd like to connect in with a group click on the Green (Bold) link(s) I have created above. Once the group page opens click on the black banner that says [click to join] at the bottom, or the [Join] button under "Group tools."

    You can then introduce yourself by putting up a ‘new post’ by clicking in the box near the top right with + New or + (Depending on the device you are using) and you are ready to go.

    I will keep an eye open for you in the groups but if you are not sure what type Lymphoma you have or are in the process of going through diagnosis pleased do get back to me on this post and I will help you out further.
