“I found that breaking down the areas of your life that you have concerns about, and identifying who could support with those problems really helpful. That’s where coming to charities like Lymphoma Action for information (but only as much as you can handle), and talking to people who have a similar condition to you is really important. For men in particular that can be hard. It’s not necessarily a ‘blokey thing’ to want to open up, but from experience I can say how important it is to speak to somebody. “To anyone else in a similar situation, I would say how do you eat an elephant? The answer: one piece at a time. Don’t hide your problems – get them out there and work out how to tackle each one with support.” Alister Alister talks about his diagnosis of follicular lymphoma: https://lnkd.in/eiJ-vA3D #LetsTalkLymphoma #BloodCancerAwarenessMonth

GB Wheelchair Rugby team member Jack reflects on his past experiences with lymphoma. “Two weeks after I received my diagnosis, I broke my neck playing sports which threw a massive spanner in the works, and it left me unable to walk. “It ultimately ended up being six months between my diagnosis and receiving treatment while everything settled down after my accident… Going to the first chemo session was the worst for me mentally, as I had read about all the possible side effects and thought it was going to be torturous! I actually coped with the treatment pretty well overall, but the worst part of it for me was the fatigue. “I am really keen on raising awareness about lymphoma, as I certainly wasn’t aware that it was a type of cancer. I think there are probably lots of young people out there who haven’t heard of it, so talking about the condition so people know what to look out for is definitely something that’s important to me.” Jack Read Jack’s story 👉 https://lnkd.in/eUwsicEf As the 2024 Paralympic Games get underway – we want to wish Jack and all of ParalympicsGB the best of luck!

“One of the biggest pressures that I have found in this experience so far is balancing treatment with work. In some ways, I have ignored some of the warnings around self care by continuing to work, but it’s difficult as I have a young family and a mortgage.” Gareth As we get ready for Blood Cancer Awareness Month, Gareth talks about his experience of non-Hodgkin lymphoma and encourages other men to reach out for support when faced with a cancer diagnosis: https://lnkd.in/eB7ha8fT #LetsTalkLymphoma #BloodCancerAwarenessMonth #Lymphoma #BloodCancer
