I was diagnosed a few days ago; I must admit to still feeling rather numb! I've read lots of info online but would appreciate any input in dealing with the early days of this condition! 

  • Hi  and welcome to this corner of the Community although always sorry to see folks joining us. I am Mike  and I help out around our blood cancer groups. 

    I was diagnosed way back in 1999 with a rare incurable but treatable type of skin Non Hodgkin’s Lymphoma Stage 4a and although my blood cancer ‘type’ is rather different I have experienced most types of treatments used but not necessarily the exact same drug mix.

    There have been a few new members join the CLL group over the past few weeks so let’s look for them to pick up on your post but I am always around to help out as best as I can.

    Do also check out Lymphoma Action, a small UK Lymphoma Specific Charity who have lots of information, videos and run regular regional online Lymphoma Zoom support groups and indeed a great Lymphoma Buddy Service.

    Thank you,Mike, The Highlander! for your warm welcome!  Sorry for the delay in replying; I'd forgotten that I logged in via social media and was trying to use a password!

    I'll have a look around the site before I post any questions. Smiley
