Hello Pete1954

I'm sorry to hear about your diagnosis. It's understandable that you want to connect with others who might understand some of what you're dealing with at the moment. 

It's good to know that you're feeling generally well and enjoying life. Having that positive approach and mindset undoubtedly helps many people to cope when they are living with an incurable illness. 

I'm not sure that we have any members here on Cancer Chat who have the same diagnosis but hopefully if there are any they will reply to say Hello. In the meantime, I wanted to give you the link to Lymphoma Action. They have lots of different support available and hopefully may be able to connect you with others who have the same diagnosis and are local. You might also like to have a look at the Blood Cancer UK site as well. 

Time is certainly a valuable gift Pete, and I hope that you're able to connect with others who understand and can share with you. 

Best wishes, 
Jenn

Thanks for the reply :)

It would be nice to chat with and possibly meet someone who is also fighting cancer not specifically Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma Fortunately my step daughter is very close and supportive and I have good friends who care (unlike my ex wife) I've been advised to try normal dating sites, but prefer to be up front and honest No one's going to fall madly in love with me overnight but it would be nice to befriend and support someone Go for walks, gardening, cinema, meals out etc

Hi Pete.

while I'm not unfortunately a woman or anywhere near Canterbury, I'm currently in remission from a rare aggressive type of NHL called Burkitt Lymphoma, initially suspected to be DBCL - but different in cell nature and a little more rotten!

if you do feel like you would like to chat, please feel free to message me through this forum
