Hi

I’m Eric 51years old, just discovered I’ve got Lymphoma in my chest, After Suffering from lots of chest infections decided to go for an x-ray

  • Hello Eric

    I'm sorry to hear that after your ongoing issues with chest infections, you've now been diagnosed with lymphoma. It's understandable that this might be a difficult time for you and that you might have lots of questions. 

    Have the specialists at the hospital requested further testing or has that already been done, and they've been able to talk with you about treatment options? Wherever you are in the process, I hope that you're feeling well supported by those involved in your care. 

    Hopefully you'll be able to connect with others who have experience of this diagnosis soon, but if it would ever help to chat things through with one of our nurses, you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice, information and support they can. 

    Keep in touch Eric and let us know how you are. We're here for you. 

    Best wishes, 
    Jenn
