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,

    I've had follicular NHL for 18 years (I'm now 58) and have just finished 6 sessions of r-CHOP. Overall, I wasn't affected too much but it all depends on the regimen, the person and the type of NHL. Over the period I became uncharacteristically needy interspersed with certain periods when I didn't want to speak to anyone! So with your Mum, just be aware and observant and give her the attention she wants when she wants it and don't feel rejected when she gets grumpy with you.
