  • Hello Cath, 

    I'm sorry to hear you were originally diagnosed with breast cancer which then turned out to be NHL. Despite what has happened it's good you now have the correct diagnosis and that you can move forward with treatment. I know you've been given a booklet about NHL already but if you want to find out about NHL in more detail we have a section on our website about it here. Also our cancer nurses will be more than happy to answer any other questions you may about this too. You can call them for free on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. 

    Wishing you all the best with your treatment Cath, 

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
