  • Hi  and a warm welcome to this corner of the Community although I am sorry to see you joining us. I am Mike and I help out around our various Blood Cancer groups. 

    For some context…… I was first diagnosed way back in 1999 at 44 with a rare (8 in a million) incurable but treatable type of Cutaneous T-Cell Non Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.

    Eventually reaching Stage 4a in late 2013 when a second, also rare (4 in a million) type of aggressive Peripheral T-Cell Non Hodgkin’s Lymphoma was then presenting so I most definitely appreciate the challenges of a blood cancer journey rather well.

    As you are posting in this general Leukaemia Group I am assuming that you have a type of Leukaemia…… what type is it?
