Hi Amanda. My name is Danielle, I am 24 years old and was just diagnosed on 2/22 with Non-Hodgkin's Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma. They say I'm in stage III possible IV upon furthur testing. It all seems like a bad dream. I meet with an oncologist on 2/27 and will have the Power Port Cath put in on 2/29. I have a PET scan scheduled for 3/05. They're moving everything VERY quick.

Any advice?

Sincerely,
Danielle
