Relapsed and Refractory Support Meeting

This support meeting is open to people who have been told that their lymphoma has come back or hasn't responded to treatment.  Meetings are on the fourth Wednesday of each month, at 2pm. 

Register for these meetings here

At these support meetings, you’ll meet others whose lymphoma has come back after successful treatment or hasn't responded to treatment. This can be a very challenging time, both physically and emotionally. You might be feeling apprehensive about having more treatment or a different type of treatment, and anxious about what the future holds.

  • If you are undergoing a first line of treatment (that is, the first treatment you have had) a Treatment support meeting will be more appropriate for you.
  • If you are now in full remission following treatment, a Remission support meeting will be more appropriate for you.
  • If you have cutaneous (skin) lymphoma, you might prefer to join our Cutaneous support meeting, as the experience and treatments are different  from other types of lymphoma.
  • If you would like to discuss which meeting is best for you before registering, please do email us at services.managers@lymphoma-action.org.uk.
  • Registration is for the service as a whole, so please submit only one registration form, joining whichever support meeting best suits your needs.
  • Carers are not eligible to join these meetings.  Instead, you are welcome to join one of our Family, Friends and 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 that includes time for everyone to share their experience and feelings about life with lymphoma. 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.
