Hodgkin's United Group

The Hodgkin’s United Group, is a support group set up to help patients with Hodgkin’s or non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma by providing up-to-date information, practical advice and emotional support at the time of most need.

Volunteers are all men and women who have had Hodgkin’s or non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. This service is provided on a one-to-one basis and is confidential.

Specifically HUG’s aims are to:

• Help patients come to terms with their diagnosis of lymphoma.
• Discuss the feelings and anxieties that may be experienced by patients who are told they have to have surgery or receive chemotherapy / radiotherapy.
• Provide reassurance to patients following their treatment.

HUG hold a phone-in day, on the 4th Wednesday of every month between 11am-4pm. Volunteers are available to speak with you and provide support and information.

Alternatively, information on Lymphoma can be obtained elsewhere on this website or through the FreeFone Cancer Helpline on 1 800 200 700 or by e-mail: support@irishcancer.ie
