  • Hi  and welcome to the Community.

    When you say you have Angioimmunoblastic are you referring to Angioimmunoblastic T-Cell NHL (AITL)?

    The Community is actually divided into dedicated Cancer Specific Support Groups (Discussion Rooms) so can I recommend you join and post in our dedicated T-cell lymphomas support group. This is a safe place to talk to others with a similar diagnosis, treatment experience, to ask questions and get support.

    To connect in with the group click on this link> T-cell lymphomas then once the group page opens click on “Click to Join” when the black banner appears or “Join” under “Group Tools” (this all depends on the device you are using.

    When you are ready you can introduce yourself by clicking “+new” or “+” in the top right next to the group title. You can copy and paste the text from this post into your new post.

    I have lived with and been treated for a different type of T-Cell Lymphoma for over 24 years and have been through the more aggressive big brother of CHOP so come over the the T-Cell group and let the group members help you out with their experiences.

    I will keep my eye open for you in the group.
