Is there anyone out there with experience of or has had NHL (Non Hogkins Lymphoma)?

Hi

As the title describes i am looking for anyone that has or has had experience of NHL, either first hand or a family member has it as i am looking for someone to talk to about things as my mum has been diagnosed with it and is starting her 2nd round of chemo next week!

So if there is anyone out there that wouldnt mind me bending their ear or just telling me their story i would appreciate it, plus any advice or hints on how i can help my mum along the way i would appreciate that too!

Thanks

  • hi there,

    my name is jeff i am 53 and was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic luekaemia,which is a form of non hodgkins lymphoma,on the 5th of july this year and i seem to be on the verge of chemotherapy but have been led to believe that it should not be to bad, but like they say it affects everyone in different ways,so i live in hope that if i do have to have chemo then things will not be to bad,but i will deal with that if and when it comes along,i will find out on friday the 5th nov 2010 if i need chemo.

    what kind of nhl does ya mum have,and how did she manage after it, as for advice the only thing i can say is try to remain positive,i know it is not allways positive butit does help,also keep comihg on this site and i am sure you will get plenty good advice and support in the future so take care,keep ya chin up and give ya mum plenty love and cuddles to help her along the way.
