29 and diagnosed with Lymphoma.

Hi, 

This is my first post. I'm looking for a bit of advice. I have been diagnosed with Lymphoma only 4 days ago. I am not sure what stage I'm at as of yet. Got a telephone appointment on Thursday.

I am just wondering how people felt after their diagnosis. I feel like my head is a fish bowl right now, it's heavy and I feel so dizzy. The nausea has been horrific the past couple of days. I'm just wondering if this is stress induced and my body is just reacting after being told I have cancer and having to be the bearer of bad news to my family.

hope someone can help or advice or tell me their experience after the first few days/weeks of diagnosis.
