Although I was a bit anxious at first and unsure what to expect I’m so glad I joined the group. Although everyone’s experience of this disease is unique there is such a sense of community and helpful information. I’ve enjoyed giving as well as receiving support. I have a good circle of friends and family who have supported me throughout but this adds something different and very valuable. 
Joan, living with non-Hodgkin lymphoma
