Lymphoma

Hello, I have just been diagnosed with B Cell Lymphoma & now waiting for an appointment with Heamatology..

This has come as a shock as had a biopsy on lung and told no cancer found but then biopsies were sent off for second opinion and told I have Lymphoma.. although consultant did not say the Cancer word! 
I am confused and hope I don’t have to wait too long for this appointment..

Any helpful information would be appreciated.

  • Hello TJ68

    I'm sorry to hear about your recent diagnosis of lymphoma and that it came out of the blue whilst you were undergoing other investigations. It's understandable that you may be feeling confused and overwhelmed by this news. 

    I would imagine that you wouldn't have to wait too long for the appointment with the haematology specialist. Hopefully, they will be able to give you some clearer information and reassurance about the recommended next steps. 

    In the meantime, you might find it helpful to give our nurses a call. I know they will be happy to offer any information, advice and support they can ahead of your appointment as well as help you think about any questions that you might want to ask the Consultant. If you'd like to talk with them they're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    This is obviously a worrying time for you TJ68. Keep in touch with us here at Cancer Chat. We're here to listen and offer any help and support we can. Do let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes,
