Active Monitoring Support Meeting

This support meeting is open to people with a diagnosis of lymphoma who are on active monitoring (also known as ‘watch and wait’) before having treatment. Meetings are on the  first Thursday of the month, at 2pm. 

Register for these meetings here

At these meetings you'll meet others with low-grade non-Hodgkin lymphomas (slow growing or ‘indolent’ types) that have not yet needed treatment such as chemotherapy.  Instead, your medical team will regularly monitor you for changes in your lymphoma and symptoms that mean you would benefit from treatment. Active monitoring can last for long periods and be difficult to cope with, emotionally and practically.  

  • If you have a low-grade lymphoma and are being monitored after treatment, including if you are on maintenance therapy to prolong remission, please join our Chronic Lymphomas support meeting or one of our general support meetings instead.
  • If you know you will soon begin treatment, usually chemo- or radiotherapy, please join one of our Treatment support meetings or a general support meeting instead.
  • Registration is for the service as a whole, so please submit only one registration form, joining whichever support meeting best meets your needs. If you would like to discuss which meetings is best for you before registering, please do email us at services.managers@lymphoma-action.org.uk.
  • Carers are not eligible for these meetings.  Instead, you are welcome to join Family, Friends & Carers support meetings.

Our support meetings provide a safe, confidential place where people affected by lymphoma can talk to each other about their experience, express their thoughts and feelings, gain insight from connecting with others, and get support and information. They last an hour and follow a common structure. The facilitators will listen, seek to understand your experience and help address any questions or worries you have. 

Support meetings are hosted on Zoom, but you don't need a Zoom account or experience of using Zoom. You will need access to an internet-enabled device with functioning microphone, speakers and camera. 

To register for the support meeting service, you must be aged 18 or over, resident in the UK, and personally affected by lymphoma. For more information, please see our full Online Support Meetings Terms of Use.
