How do you cope with multiple cancer diagnoses at once?

I had both breast cancer and lymphoma diagnosed within a week of each other. The breast cancer has been treated and NED. I am on anastrozole daily and Zometa every 6 months. The CLL/SLL lymphoma is indolent and so far hasn’t needed treatment.

Hi my name is Daria I was diagnosed in July with low grade follicular non Hopkins cancer it’s in my abdomen it’s kind of like a blood thing something with my b-cells I’m just learning I fell and they took a complete body scan and that’s how they found the mass it is 8 centimeters I start chemo in three weeks or so I’m highly depressed so they want me to see a psychiatrist asap bc in this state it’s not good for chemo bc of the immune system all I do is sleep and cry I’m really scared 🙏

I'm 78 and went through 6 rounds of chemo. I'm in remission now. You can do this. Take the doctor's advice & get help. Chemo will make you very fatigued. That's just what happens. Ask your oncologist if there are support groups or patients you can talk to that have gone through this. Never give up.

🙏 ty Jim ❤️

Daria stay strong and yes reach out and get support. I’m on 4th round of RChop it’s tough but you can get through this !

Managing two different cancer diagnoses simultaneously presents unique challenges, and it's completely understandable to seek connection with others who've faced similar situations. Many patients in this community have navigated multiple cancer types or complex treatment plans where timing and sequencing become critical factors - sharing experiences and coping strategies here often helps people feel less isolated during such overwhelming times.
