Waiting for subgroup diagnosis

Hi, I'm here at the hospital just had my dads confirmation of non-hodgkins lymphoma, still awaiting sub group diagnosis... I've decided not to tell him just yet until we get full diagnosis, stage and treatment plan, Is this the right thing to do? My dad is a very negative thinker

  • Hi ABH1943 ... everyone is different , and you know your dad ... so really, only you can decide what is right for him ... as we don't know your dad it would only be guessing and it could go wrong ... 

    Just my idea, but would it be more of a shock if he knew nothing and it may hit him hard if he wasn't prepared ... just a thought ... l hope you get other points of view .. but ultimately it must be your decision..  thinking of you ... Chrissie x
