So sorry about your mom. Cancer and chemo is so stressful. I personally didn't have anxiety attacks, but I can't believe they are uncommon. I never had them while I had the cancer, but I had so so many of them once the cancer was gone.

How is she doing in her treatment so far?

    Hi... I was just looking for support groups and came across this site. I was just diagnosed with NHL specifically Folicular Lymphoma (Large B-Cell type) and I guess it would just be nice to talk to people who have been through this. I'm 28 F and I'm a new mom, my life has changed drastically in the last two years and now this diagnosis has really gotten me down...I had a CT scan done last week...
