Newly diagnosed with non hodgkins lymphoma

Hi. I have just been diagnosed with non hodgkins lymphoma not sure of all the details yet. Needless to say shocked as was an incedental finding following a procedure. Just wanted to ask how people cope with all the negative feeling that flooding  in. 

  • Hello MW713

    Welcome to the forum although I'm sorry to hear about the recent news that has brought you here. I'm sure that it's been a time of very mixed emotions, concerns and questions. 

    I think that many of our members here will understand the negative feelings that can encompass you on diagnosis and I'm sure that some of them will reply to your post soon. 

    We've some information about NHL which hopefully you will find helpful. You might also like to have a look at this page about coping emotionally which hopefully help too. 

    I wonder if you might find it useful to talk to one of our nurses? I'm sure that they will be able to offer some advice and support. You can call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.

    Do keep in touch and let us know how you're getting on. 

    Best wishes,
