Lymphoma

Hi I got diagnosed with lymphoma at the end of October 2023 and have now started treatment(radiotherapy) at first I really didn't know what to do and found it hard telling anyone. I do have a good support network around me but it doesn't stop me thinking negative thoughts. I don't know what the next steps are after my treatment finishes and am worried it is going to come back. My question is to anyone who has gone through this when do you stop worrying about what the future holds

    Hi

    I had hodgkins lymphoma 20 years ago and now being diagnosed with aggressive non hodgkins lymphoma. I don't know which type of lymphoma you have and at what stage. 20 years ago I had 6 treatments of ABVD and 21 treatments of radio therapy. I was in stage 2 advanced. Now I am going friday for my 4th chemo session and know I will beat it again.

    Sorry for the long story about myself. I just wanted to let you know lymphoma is a cancer that can be easily cured and I am living evidence of that.

    Please let me know which lymphoma cancer you have (not a pro on cancers) but if it is simular to mine you have a very good chance to be cured and live a long life.

    Being positive is vitally important to fight cancer according to me. So tell me what thoughts make you negative?
