Hi my name is maria and have just been diagnosed with waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia. I start my chemo in 6weeks before the I have to have a CT scan and bone/marrow biopsy. I would like to hear from someone who is experiencing this type of cancer.

At the moment It has not sunk in.

  • Welcome to Cancer Chat Maria although I'm sorry to hear about your diagnosis.

    I know you are looking to chat to others who may also have this cancer so I would suggest using our 'search forum' above to help you do this. Just type in some keywords and you will then have a list of previous discussions created by members who have also discussed waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia. If you see anyone that you would like to chat to just click on reply to say hello.

    I would also suggest giving our cancer nurses a call next week as they may be able to tell you about societies or other forums that are specifically for people with this type of cancer. The nurses are available Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m on 0808 800 4040 which is free to call from a UK landline.

    I hope this helps Maria and that your CT scan and biopsy go well. Do come back and let us know how you get on if you can.

    All the best,
