Lymphoma (Hodgkin and Non-Hodgkin)

Am I a horrible caregiver?
I’ve been giving care to my mom with lymphoma this past year. For the most part, it’s been an honor to provide support. It has been a lot of appointments, calling providers, getting medications, managing side effects, talking through issues, all of it. Now I am burnt out. I have the small kids including a newborn. I have a…
New Dx -- Reaching Out For Support
Hi, I'm Tom, and I'm very scared. So, I've just got the initial diagnosis of CLL yesterday, and I'm reeling. I'm alternating between depression ("what's the point? I'm just going to get sicker and sicker, until I die...") and anxiety ("oh god, every new ache and pain is the cancer taking over!"). I am not religious, but I…

Nutrition and the Cancer Patient
I have come to the conclusion (opinion only - I am not a doctor) that one of the biggest misconceptions about cancer is that it is treated as some kind of foreign invader when in fact it is not foreign at all. Cancer is part of you just the same as healthy tissue. This struggle is a civil war - brother against brother.…
Any survivors of follicular lymphoma out there
Hi Any survivors of follicular lymphoma and for how long? I was diagnosed last april and have since been in remission. Do the doctors know if they can retreat the disease if it relapses? Real life experiences mean more than what statics say. Thanks Richard
Neuropathy
My last chemo was in July 2018 but after 5 years I still experience neuropathy. It is mostly at night and interferes with my ability to sleep. It always starts in my toes and front part of both feet.
