  • A very warm welcome to the forum DEBS although I'm so sorry to hear what happened to you on Boxing Day and finding out you have lymphoma.

    I know this must be such a worrying and stressful time but I'm glad you've reached out to us as so many of our members will know what you're going through right now, so you are not alone, and hopefully some of them will stop by soon to offer their support and advice.

    If you'd like to talk any of this through with one of our cancer nurses, you can do so on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're really easy to talk to and will do all they can to help you during this anxious and unsettling time.

    We're thinking of you Debs and will have our fingers crossed you won't have to wait too much longer for next appointment and results.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
