Hi Bob889 and a warm welcome to the group and it’s so good to hear that your treatment has went well.
I am Mike and I help out around our various Lymphoma groups. I don’t have DLBCL but I was diagnosed way back in 1999 at 44…… with my rare (8 in a million) incurable but treatable type of Skin (Cutaneous) T-Cell Lymphoma (a type of slow growing Low-grade non-Hodgkin lymphoma)…….
I eventually reached Stage 4a in late 2013 when a second, also rare (4 in a million) type of aggressive Peripheral T-cell lymphoma not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS) (a type of fast growing High-grade non-Hodgkin lymphoma) was then presenting so although my Lymphoma ‘type’ is different I most definitely appreciate the challenges of this journey rather well.
It’s not until we find ourselves firmly within n the hands of our hard pressed NHS that we find how amazing the service is…….. due to the complexity of being treated for 2 rare types of T-Cell NHL I had a few different hospitals involved and as with you, the service was excellent.
