Moongirl non curable blood cancer

I’m just new to the diagnosis of what ostensibly is a non curable blood cancer and presently in “waiting and watching”.  So just saying hello to all the brave people who contribute to this Forum.

  • Hi there, I’ve been under haematologist for low grade b cell non Hodgkin lymphoma and am being watched and waiting. I had a biopsy on lumps in my groin but no action taken at present. I am also dealing with the extreme fatigue all the time. It’s good my husband is supportive but every day I wake up I just feel tearful and don’t seem to be able to concentrate on anything.  I have a loving daughter and son who don’t live at home anymore and they are supporting me too. I used to be so carefree and now I’m 70 in September I really feel quite helpless. It is the tiredness that is getting me down, any advice from anyone please? Love to anyone going through this xx

  • Hello… I can’t give you advice but I share your feelings of utter helplessness… the mornings are the worst and then you cope… buckle… cry a lot… then get yourself back together… we are sharing the struggles and hopefully we’ll come through it for some time… all good wishes x

  • Hello Wombat ,

    Im sorry to hear your emotional  pain ; It is a shock to face the fragility of our physical selves and Wombat says it well; our feelings and emotions are real so we can’t escape them, but nothing stays the same and thankfully time moves on and we move with it. Sending good wishes and thoughts for peace to come and love .
