Day-to-day aspects
Living with lymphoma can have an impact on day-to-day practicalities, such as driving, finances, studying and travel. Find the facts and where you can get help if you need it.
Living with lymphoma?
Some types of lymphoma grow slowly which means you don't need treatment straight away and will instead have regular check-ups with your medical team. For other types of lymphoma, treatment aims to send the lymphoma into partial remission. Living with lymphoma can be difficult - we offer a range of information and support to help.

Relationships
Lymphoma can affect your relationships with family and friends. Each situation is unique, but we offer some guidance on how to communicate with the people around you about your lymphoma.
Coping with symptoms
Coping with the symptoms of lymphoma can be emotionally and physically challenging. We give suggestions to help you manage some of these, but you should speak to your medical team for support too.
Living on watch and wait
Watch and wait - also called active monitoring - is where you have regular check-ups to monitor your lymphoma. The uncertainty can be stressful and you may suffer from fatigue, but there are things you can do to make it easier.
