Chemo or no treatment

I've just had a biopsy to confirm that my lymphoma has stuck aroundand it has been three years since my last biopsy- in this time I've had a baby!

there is a possibility I may need treatment. But, I'm having a mental battle. I feel as though I'd obviously need it to get better for my baby and boyfriend! But, I don't feel as though it's a good choice either because there's a possibility I'd be too ill to care for my baby and my boyfriend can’t take a massive amount of time off!

can someone give me some kind of opinion/clarity?

  • Sorry to hear you are going through this.

    Obviously your medical team are best placed to advise you, but I would generally say, it's better to risk being ill for a limited period of time from treatment than to risk not recovering.

    If your boyfriend can't take time off, could you arrange some kind of childcare?
