how much more can a person take....

I just found out a few minutes ago that my stepfather has lymphoma. He has been married to my mom since I was 5, so he's basically my dad.  I'm devastated, nervous, worried, sad....I don't know anything about it.  He's having the tumor removed on Thursday next week, and then we'll know more about what kind, and the treatment needed.  Does anyone have any experience with this?

  • My Dad had non-Hodgkins lymphoma, so I definitely have experience with it.  Good luck with the tumor removal - let us know what kind it ends up to be.  Lymphomas can be very treatable!
  • no experience either but sending all good thoughts to you and your family. ((hugs))

    I'm so sorry.

    My husband works for the leukemia & lymphoma society here in RI.  I would suggest that you reach out to them.  They have a ton of information that they could provide to either you or your family.  Their local number is 943-8888.

    Good luck!
