Hi I have just been diagnosed with Hidgkin Lymphoma and am new to the community.

  • Hi  and a very warm welcome to the Community but sorry to hear about your HL diagnoses.

    Navigating the cancer journey can be such a stressful and challenging time but getting support from people who have walked the ‘exact same' cancer journey can help a lot……. I was diagnosed way back in 1999 with Non Hodgkins Lymohoma so I understand the journey rather well.

    The New to Community is like our reception desk where we look to direct you to the best part of the Community for you to get support. The Community is divided into dedicated Cancer Support Groups (Discussion Rooms) so can I recommend you join and post in our dedicated Hodgkin's Lymphoma 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 > Hodgkin lymphoma 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.

    I will keep an eye open for you in the HL group and I can give you further help.
