Hi Jeannie and welcome to the forum.  I am so sorry to hear about your diagnosis and the loss of your daughter - what an awful few years you have had.

I think if you feel up to having chemo, then go ahead.  If you find that it makes you feel too unwell you can always stop but if you dont try it, it may be something you will continue to think 'what if' about.

Please let us know what you decide to do and keep us up-to-date about how you are getting on.  I hope we can support you through the coming months and that you meet some good friends on the site - I have, and am very grateful for that.  Take good care and much love to you and your family x

Hi,

Really sorry to hear about this particularly as you lost your daughter to the same thing.

I think people have different experiences of chemo for some people like my wife get years on their life with very few ill effects - others have a really rough time with it.

I would definately give it a go. If you find you're getting side effects that degrade your quality of life so much that you feel it's not worth continuing you can always call a halt to it

Thanks Jeannie - speak to you soon and fingers crossed for you x

Fingers crossed

Have got my results today the lymphoma seems to be everywhere.I have decided to have chemo and will start on Tuesday not looking forward to it but I don,t think I have anything to lose as if I don,t do it the end is near.I intend to fight this .so think of me please.

Dear Jeannie .... I so hope that the treatment works well for you.  I think you have made the right decision and you can always stop if you feel you want to. You must feel better for making a firm commitment - well done and please know that we are here to help if needed x

Hi Jeannie,

I am so sorry to hear about your lovely daughter.

I hope that all goes well for you on Tuesday - you will be in my thoughts. Sending hugs your way. X

Thanks for your good wishes.This is going to sound really silly but doing this makes me feel closer to my Mandy as she went through the same.
