Hi, @stephaniet, and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. You'll notice I moved your message to this existing discussion, "Leukemia and Lymphoma." I did this so that you can connect with other members talking about lymphoma.
Click VIEW & REPLY in the email notification and you will be able to read through the past messages by members like @bassfmily @robbhiller @travelgirl and others. I'd also like to introduce you to @1nan.
A brand new diagnosis of diagnosis of small B cell lymphoma is stressful and challenging. I'm guessing you will have questions about the diagnosis, treatment options and what will happen next. I'm confident these members will be helpful to you as you process this new information and the feeling of freaking out, seek what questions you should ask and things that are good to know or do when first diagnosed, and await more information on the stage or any treatment options/plan.
Here is some Mayo Clinic information on lymphoma you may be interested in https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/lymphoma/symptoms-causes/syc-20352638.
As you think about this diagnosis today, @stephaniet, what would you say is your greatest concern right now?

Hard to pinpoint my greatest concern...possibly being a burden, or an object of faux pity maybe...not being able to be physically active is perhaps the biggest one. Thought provoking!

Stephanie, I know the feeling of discovering cancer especially your kind. Mayo found 3 different ones for me. Today, with prayers, great medicine and how I dealt with the tough 5 months of chemo, I am healed. There is no cancer. As a result of this, I am writing a book for a New York publisher that is all about how we can go through adversity and come out whole.
"The Power of 3" is what I discovered. Ask the right questions, find support with friends, an advocate and your faith, and activate your God given gifts. In doing so, you will be so much more successful dealing with a tough disease. May the Lord be your healer along with the great Mayo team. Robb
