Hi

First time here - can’t quite believe I am here to be honest. Life has been turned upside down in a matter of days.

Diagnosed with Lymphoma. Mass in chest area plus a smaller swollen gland under collar bone. Biopsy taking place on Tuesday to determine specific type.

Also getting additional scans on neck and lower abdomen to determine staging although hoping they find nothing else. Although Consultant did say staging isn’t quite so relevant with Lymphoma?

Symptoms have become worse since diagnosis but wondering if a lot of this is down to the fact I now know what it is and my mind is running riot and anxiety through the roof. 

I guess I’m just looking for any advice, positivity, similar accounts?

Many thanks in advance 

  • Sorry to hear this.

    How are you doing processing everything?

    I hope treatment starts soon for you. Heart

  • Hi folks….. do look to join and introduce yourself to our various dedicated Lumphoma Support Groups …… the New to Community area is like our waiting room so not many people with lived experience of your types of Lymphoma will be looking in this area.
