Hello everyone,
I certainly didn’t think I’d be writing on here, but here I am. I am 31 years old and got diagnosed with follicular lymphoma today. I have a beautiful 16 month old baby and I am generally a very fit and healthy person. I had a lump on my neck on the left side and this is how they have discovered my cancer diagnosis. To say this is a shock is an understatement. I’m now in that horrible limbo phase where I’m now waiting on a CT scan to see what stage of cancer it is. Any words of comfort would be so appreciated as I feel very scared. As you can imagine, I can’t stop thinking about my baby not having her mummy for very long and I just feel like my mind is getting the better of me at the moment
Thank you in advance to anyone who replies xx
