My case is particular in that I didn't have many symptoms and didn't know I was sick. Mine is indolent so I haven't needed any treatment and I just have regular check-ups to track its progress. I've always been a stay-at-home mom and homemaker so the appointments haven't had too much impact on my personal life which I guess is a good thing. Interested to hear from others who have been in treatment in case I ever have to cross that bridge.

I completely understand as I don’t have anyone to talk to also. I’m a widow & I live alone. My oldest son died in 2021 & my youngest son & his family live 3 hours. My father is dead & my mother has chronic back pain & is immobile. My younger sister lives with our mother & she is going through a divorce from her husband who abandoned her. My sister doesn’t visit me, help me, call me & rarely texts me. I have various cousins, a niece & nephew that are spread out in nearby states but are hours away from me. After I told my friends I had cancer, they quit contacting me. I have learned how to be my own care giver. It has been very difficult. I’ll admit I’ve been depressed, cried a lot, felt sorry for myself but I never gave up. I prayed & read my Bible everyday. Then I found cancer groups online like this one where I could share what I was going through & got empathetic responses. That really kept me going. I hope you find someone to talk to but I highly recommend the online cancer chat groups.

Hello everyone,
I hope you're doing well! I thought I would come and spark some new conversation in our group!
Does or did your lymphoma have an impact on your daily life? Did you experience any symptoms in the day-to-day? Did you have to adapt your lifestyle or daily habits to your lymphoma and its treatments? Do you have any tips on how to live better with lymphoma?
