  • Welcome to the forum Satcol although I'm really sorry to read about everything you are having to contend with in addition to this cancer diagnosis.

    I can't begin to imagine how tough this must be for you but please don't give up. If you are feeling overwhelmed by everything do make sure you talk to someone about this, if not your friends or family then your GP as they may be able to help.

    I'm including some information we have about follicular lymphoma for you to have a look at as well as a section we have about coping with cancer which I hope will prove useful but if you have any questions or would like to chat to someone about your situation then do give our cancer nurses a call. Their number is 0808 800 4040 and lines are open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. 

    Many members here have found chatting on the forum to be really helpful so do keep posting if you find it helps.

    We're here if you need us Satcol and wish you all the best on your cancer journey.

    Kind regards,
