Mum has just been diagnosed with lymphoma

3 weeks ago mum was diagnosed with lymphoma, whilst in hospital she took covid, this almost took mum away thankfully she is over the worst,   mum is now on steriods and is actually looking so much healthier than I've seen her in years, do you think this new energy mum has is permanent or will it be short term. Mum was to weak to start chemo , but doctors hope they can start at the end of this week. 

  • Hi Mary963,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm sorry to hear of the situation with your mum and that she has been unwell with covid, although it's good to hear she is looking better now.

    It's difficult to advise on your question - try to speak to your mum's doctor about this when you can. You are also welcome to speak to our nurses if you'd like to - you can reach them on freephone 0808 800 4040 - Monday-Friday, 9-5.

    I hope that you're able to hear more regarding the treatment soon.

    Wishing you all the best,

    Ben
