How can I cope with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma returning after 18 years?

I'm 78 & recently went through 6 rounds of chemo. I'm in remission now. You can do this. Hopefully you have a support team around you to help.

Thank you Jim, I do have a large support group. Best of luck to you may you remain in remission 💚

Hi Jacqueline I am 54 and in July I was diagnosed with the same thing..I did not even know I had fell down the steps and hit the concrete hard they did a head to toe cat scan and that is when they seen the mass on my abdomen area it is 8 centimeters maybe close to 9 now I start chemo in 3 weeks or less I’m so scared all I do is cry! I’m just afraid I know we all have to die eventually but I don’t want to dies yet or from this I want to be here for my kids and grandchildren 🙏

You will live to see your grandchildren grow up. I am currently going through Rituxan infusions. I am much more tired this time than I was before, but I was almost 20 years younger too😁 The chemo will kick the heck out of your lymphoma and soon enough you'll spend your days enjoying your life and the lymphoma will be just another bump in the road that you went through. Best of luck to you. 💚 And may God bless you

Hello, I was diagnosed earlier this year with stage 3 FL. Completed 6 rounds of BR chemo earlier today and will start on maintenance Rixutan in 2 months. Chemo was a beast but if I can do it and survive you can too. I'm hoping to hear the good news of remission in a few weeks. Happy to chat with all, especially folks with FL and to learn others stories and tips to manage and succeed through this journey that no one wants to be on. Patricia, 65

Thanks Patricia, I will be receiving my 2nd round of Rituxan today. The tumor has already shrunk significantly. I will keep everyone updated on my progress. Thank you for your words of encouragement. God bless you

I have CLL and this is my third time it’s come back. I am 52 years old and I don’t know what they’re gonna do next. Is there any suggestions or anybody I can talk to sometimes I feel lonely and just need to connect.

Thank you for sharing your journey and the perspective that comes from facing this challenge twice. Coping with a recurrence after such a long remission can bring up complex emotions, and connecting with others who understand this experience through support groups or communities like this one can provide valuable emotional support. Your positive outlook about cherishing the good years and finding ways to navigate uncertainty is something many in this community will find encouraging as they face their own ups and downs with lymphoma.
