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, I have Follicular Lymphoma. I am currently on watch and Wait. I have a 2 and a half year old daughter and another in the way. I am 35, I would welcome any contact about this condition. Personally I think I am slowly going mad! I have had a tumor removed from my neck, another removed from my groin and am in surgical remission although I have lumps in my neck,groin and stomach...scared but FIGHTING.

  • Hello Everyone

    Its been a long time since I updated on here ,but I look in quite often and read your mails , and pray for you all ,

    For my daughter Rosemary who was diagnoised with Non Hodgkins Lymphoma 12 months ago , its been a long hard year for her and for us supporting her on this very difficult journey, Sadly our Rosemary passed away yesterday Sunday 23rd October 2011

    She was on pallative care in a local Nursing home , we got a phone call yesterday lunch time to say Rosemary was fading and it would be a good idea for her family to get there , sure enough Rosemary was struggling to breath but knew we were there her daughter laid on the bed with her holding mam in her arms her brother and myself and dad talking to her and she just stopped breathing it was so peaceful when its my turn to go I hope I go like that,  Rosemary was only 43 with three children , shes been through some difficult dark days we are pleased shes in no more pain now

    We canot thank the Consultant and his team enough for all they did for her , also The Seven Hospice Telford and the Macmillan support team, The Rylands Nursing Home Telford , all these nurses and care workers cooks and laundry people and cleaners, are living angels , what an example they show to the rest of us with their unfailing dedication to their paitents and their relatives God Bless them all

    So many of your messagers on her have been very supportive and encouraging , I will continue to follow your stories

    Much Love to you all God Bless Huggs and x x x Brenda

  • Dear Brenda,

    On behalf of everyone here at Cancer Chat, I'd like to say how sorry I am that your daughter Rosemary has passed away.

    I'm glad to read that she died peacefully with her family around her. It sounds like she had wonderful care from the people around her.

    Very best wishes to you and your family.
