I must admit that this news has shaken me quite a bit.
I was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma six months ago. I'm a young guy, married, and with toddlers at home. The initial tumor was removed and I am now in the "waiting period" to see if it spread and if additional tumors present themselves. It's a very good prognosis, but hot dog if this news hasn't hit close to home, especially considering this fun fact:
My six-month PET scan is tomorrow.
We shall see what they find. In the meantime Paul Allen and his family will be in my prayers.
- amyjess 8y agoI don't know if this will help, but when my uncle Scotty was diagnosed with NHL, he founded an online support group that's still going strong long after he passed away (from what I understand, he died of something else and the NHL was still in remission at the time, but I'm still not sure what he died of so I could be wrong). I hope you find some resources there that can help you https://nhlcyberfamily.org https://nhlcyberfamily.org

- throwaway160940 8y agoI was diagnosed in 2016 with NHL - just as you, have two children (4 and 10). I am in remission now. Treatments have improved a lot over the years. I would not read too much into survival stats you'll find online. Do keep yourself fit and stress-free as much as you can - exercise, avoid sugar, healthy food, etc. I cannot overstate how important cutting down on sugar is. You are not alone. Joining a online forum of survivors will be useful as long as you pick a good forum. I am regular at https://lymphomasurvival.com https://lymphomasurvival.com
