Hi and warm welcome to the Macmillan Online Community although sorry that you had to find us and especially sorry to hear about your husbands WM diagnosis. I am Mike Thehighlander 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.
As for him having his flu jab you need to check in with his hospital team as they will be able to tell you the best time for him to have it as they will know where his blood counts are and if he is open to infections and any ill effects from having the jab.
You may want to join our General Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma group. This is a safe place to talk to others who may have a similar diagnosis, treatment experience, to ask questions and get support from family on the same journey.
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. You could copy and paste the text from this post into your new post.
I will keep an eye open for you but if you are not sure what type you have pleased do get back to me on this post and I will help you out further.
Do come over to the group and say Hi and we can give you some helpful information and support.
