New to this forum. Want to learn from others experiences of MF. I have been very lucky with no major health problems for most of my life. However, after a stressfull few years (connected?) I was diagnosed 5 years ago with follicular non Hodgkin's lymphoma on wait and see, 2 years ago with MF no treatment yet, last year my partner of 13years suddenly died of a heart attack he was the last of my family, and a few weeks later I had 2 weeks in hospital with pneumonia and 4months ago diagnosed with breast cancer treateded with mastectomy, radiotherapy and chemo hormone tablets to take for the rest of my life. Lucky I had no pain but last 10weeks had severe pain with vaulvadinia not curable comes and goes taking painkillers when necessary.
I'm wondering if these illnesses have any connection with each other eg MF. Also if they will eventually clash with MF symptoms and treatment eg chemo/ tiredness and if my body could cope. Initially I was given 4 different diagnosis of MF and only after paying for a private diagnosis was I told I had MF. The Specialist told me to go in the sun and the plaques would 'melt' away but when I had the biopsy the dr told me don't ever let the sun get on it!! Does anyone have similar experiences? Thank you
