This is the place!
This is the place Andy. You will find lots of support from caregivers (like me ) and cancer patients (like Rose). There is unity and caring. You can blab anything about how your are feeling and doing and there will people who understand. Try the chat room when you get situated. Keep the faith and hang in. - Lori
NHL
Hi Andy,
I'd suggest you have a browse through the lymphoma forums as a starting point - these will be able to give you more of an insight into how others deal with this cancer. You can also search for patients via this site with your specific condition. However, I guess you know more than most of us if you've had this thing three times already. I was diagnosed with NHL last year for the first time and was told to consider it more as a chronic condtion with remission and relapse being part of the process to an eventual clean bill of health. Clearly, a lot depends on your staging - I'm Stage 3. The average age for conracting this disease is supposed to be 67! As such, many other patients have other age-related complications and can't always tolerate the treatment very well. However, 5 yr survival is still around 50% for all sufferers. BUT, as you're very young, your overall prognosis must be generally good.
Keep posting
Andrew
A rocky road!
Hi Andy - I was so sorry to read your story and to learn that you are now facing this for the third time. I can truly appreciate how it's doing your head in, as you say. I don't have the same type of cancer that you are suffering from, but I truly believe cancer is cancer
and the type can be unimportant. Well, maybe it's a little bit important in that we could share tips and experiences etc, but I think knowing we are all on the same road (many branches off the road it's true), means that just by being around to listen and to offer words of encouragement and comfort goes some way to soothing our feelings, eh? Let us all know how you are getting along, and I wish you all the very best, with love from kate xxxxxxxxxx
hi kate
hi kate thank you for been there.I have never been able to talk about all this and the funny thing is i cant talk to my wife about it all. Im haveing a really bad day today and its really getting to me i just keep crying and stuff is this right i dont like to cry but cant help my self it just come out. hope you are well kate and all the best to you love from andy xxx
Why?
Not to be nosy Andy, but why can't you talk about this with your wife? Is it just too hard for you or her? I mean I totally get that, but just wondering. I'm the caregiver for my hubby and it has been really hard for him. He is not emotional generally, so he is very uncomfortable "feeling" all that he is feeling. I'm very emotional and animated, so I have had to tone it down a bit and do everything to comfort him and make it safe for him to talk to me. We don't have long conversations about things that are causing our anxiety, but we have little ones, that I usually let him originate, so we are talking about what he wants to talk about and not all my fears and worries as I don't want to burden him with mine. Anyway, you are in the right place Andy. No shame, no guilt, no judgement here. We all understand and its a very comforting place to be. One foot in front of the other, do the best you can. Come often. - Lori
