Thought this group may provide advice and support
Hi Venice8 and warm welcome to the Macmillan Online Community although sorry that you had to find us and especially sorry to hear about your Lymphoma 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 skin Non Hodgkin’s Lymphoma so I understand this journey rather well.
I see that you have joined and posted in our Mantel Cell Lymphoma group so I will put up a more detailed reply on that post.
Hi Venice8 and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I'm really sorry to read that your husband has recently been diagnosed with mantle cell lymphoma and I know what a difficult time this will be for you both.
As you know, the online community is divided up into different support groups and I can see that you've already joined and posted in the mantle cell lymphoma group.
You might also like to think about joining the carers only group which is a safe and supportive place to discuss your worries and emotions with others who have a loved one living with cancer.
If this is something that you'd like to do just click on the link I've provided which will take you directly to the group. You can then join and start a new post in the same way as you did here and join in with exiting conversations by clicking on 'reply.
When you feel up to it, it would be great if you could pop something about your husband's diagnosis and treatment so far into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. 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.
