Hi, just found out my husband has lymphoma, not sure what type, he is going on on Tuesday for a biopsy. He is normally so strong but this has floored him. Not sure how to deal with it all
Hi Sammy
I was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma last August -.. I remember that feeling of being told and the fear and dread you get. Tell him to remain strong though these doctors etc. are incredible and know what they are doing. After 6 months of chemo I had a scan in March to confirm I have had complete remission and long may it continue. A lot of my recovery I feel was due to keeping head strong- obviously you get your days when you cant which is normal but ask him to try remain focused and I am sure this will all be okay. I wish you all lots of luck and love x

Hi, my husband then aged 54, was diagnosed with Follicular lymphoma stage IV in 2005. He was put on watch and wait, which was difficult to get his head around for a while, then just when he was getting used to going for regular appointments, in 2007 following a scan, he was told he needed treatment -rcvp. This put him in good partial remission, then in 2011 FCR, Rituximab was completed in 2013. Since then he has been well. Recently he has been feeling extremely tired with B symptoms, especially horrendous night sweats, he has lost weight and looks very ill. He had a scan which showed nodes in his abdomen and a swollen spleen, he then had a pet scan. We get the results in two weeks time. I am so worried about him. I think his follicular lymphoma may have transformed into something more aggressive. The worst part is the waiting, once we have a plan there will be something to aim for, but having to wait for his appointment in two weeks is awful.
