Just don’t know how to help him. I lost my dad to blood cancer five years ago now hubby has cancer. I’m trying to be strong but everything reminds me of dad
Hi Clemgirl 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 sorry to read that you lost your dad to cancer so this must be a very difficult time for you right now.
As the online community is divided into different support groups I'm going to recommend that you join the non-Hodgkin lymphoma group which is a great place to ask questions, share experiences and get support.
To join, just click on the link I've created and, once you've joined, you can start a new post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
It would be great if you could put something about your husband's diagnosis and treatment to date 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.

Hi Clemgirl and a second welcome to the Macmillan Community although sorry that you had to find us and especially sorry to hear about your husbands Lymphoma diagnosis.
I am Mike and I help out around our Lymphoma groups.
I was diagnosed way back in 1999 at 43 so I most definitely appreciate the challenges of this journey rather well..... but I am still here living a great life.
There are over 60 types and sub-types of Lymphoma so we can’t have a group for every type but these are our main Lymphoma groups below.
General Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma
I will keep an eye open for you in the groups.
