Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma - CBD Oil?

Last reply: 26 April 2020 16:27
Hi, My father has just been diagnosed with Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma. Just want to speak with anyone with similar diagnosis. He is 69 years old and it seems to be in one node at the moment. Starting chemo next week. Just trying to reach out and see if anyone is in the same boat. Also wondering about the use of CBD oil in conjunction with CHOP chemotherapy, if anyone uses CBD oil or how have they found it? Thank you.

my father in law

Last reply: 09 April 2020 13:58
My father in law is currently in a nursing home which is under lockdown. He has advanced non hodkins and appears to be getting very breathless which is a new thing. When we speak to him he is v breathless and has had a cough. We are waiting to speak to a nurse later about his O2 levels. We are obviously very concerned now as the community palliative team have not seen him since Nov and they cannot visit him. Has anyone got any suggestions as to what we can do? thanks.

follicular non Hodgkin's lymphoma

Last reply: 09 January 2019 20:54
Hello, I'm new here and wanted to say hi. I got diagnosed with follicular non hodgkins lymphoma in September 2013. I'm a 34year old female. The diagnosis felt like a slap on my face . I'm worried of course. I have so many questions (Google is not helpful. It scares me) Is there anybody else here with the same cancer who would like to talk? Take care, Justy.

Last reply: 07 January 2019 11:55
Its 1.20am, ten hours since my mams consultant rang me to say that her multiple myeloma is aggressive and not responding to the treatment. She was diagnosed two years ago, had stem cell transplant and rounds of chemo but only got 11 months approx before it came back. i have one sibling, im 40 years old and i am devastated. My husband is asleep beside me right now, my four children ( under ten) are asleep. Im here frozen since i got the call. My dad doesnt know only myself and my brother. Ive one friend in my lofe who lives 3 hours away and my mother was and is my best friend. I can breathe, i cant move. Her ldh is over 700 and six months is the max she will get.

The Lymphoma Association is bringing the latest in our regional series of ‘Know Your Lymphoma’ conferences to Belfast in November. This conference will give you a great opportunity to hear the latest on lymphoma from regional lymphoma experts and ask them questions to learn more about your diagnosis. Sessions include: What is lymphoma? Breakout sessions: Choice of high grade lymphoma or low grade lymphoma The psychological impact of a lymphoma diagnosis Diet and nutrition Patient experience The role of exercise after a lymphoma diagnosis Ongoing follow up, getting the best from your review appointments New and future treatments for lymphoma Clinical trials for lymphoma Ask the expert panel: question and answer session with speaker faculty Feedback from previous 'Know Your Lymphoma' conferences: • Interesting and informative knowledge about the intricate aspects of lymphoma, it’s all quite amazing and mind boggling. • Having never been to one of these conferences before, I am pleased to say that I have found this one to be very enjoyable and useful to me. • A very worthwhile use of a days’ time! • This helped me to understand my illness far more than I did when I was diagnosed. I wish I went to something like this sooner. The webpage for the conference is www.lymphomas.org.uk/belfast and the number for the conference team is 01296 619 412 if anyone wanted to find out more or book.
