Welcome to Cancer Chat, Jan70.

I’m sorry to hear about your diagnosis with angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma. It sounds like it has been a very intense time for you since last summer, and I can imagine that finishing six cycles of chemotherapy and now waiting for the PET-CT scan at the end of March may feel like a long and uncertain wait.

As you mention, this is a rare type of lymphoma, so it can sometimes feel quite isolating when looking online and not easily finding others talking about the same diagnosis. But you are certainly not alone here, and I hope that by posting on the forum you will connect with others who may have had a similar experience, or who are going through treatment for lymphoma and understand what this time can feel like.

If at any point you feel it might help to talk things through with someone, you are also very welcome to speak with one of our nurses. They are available on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, and would be happy to listen and offer support.

I’m glad you found your way to the forum and I hope you will feel less alone here.

Best wishes,

Renata, Cancer Chat Moderator
