I’m so happy to hear his story update in the description and that he had a son. I’ve just been diagnosed and I’m 33 and have a three year old son who needs his Mammy. Thanks Andy for sharing your story it gives me confidence that I can beat this too. Much love to you and your family from Ireland

After 6 chemo cycles, should lymphoma, swollen lymph nodes be completely squeezed or only partially ? - NHL

[@LymphomaAction]

lymphoma journeys are all individual, for some, treatment will put the lymphoma in to remission (no evidence of lymphoma detected), for others they may go in to what is considered partial remission (meaning that the lymphoma is affecting fewer cells, or parts of the body than it was before). Here is some information on remission: lymphoma-action.org.uk/about-lymphoma-treatment-lymphoma/remission Your doctor should be able to guide you on what is happening in your situation, and so I do hope you will feel able to get in touch with them to discuss. We send our best wishes to you.
