Was diagnoelsed 2 days ago with Mantel cell lymphoma and my head is spinning . It was news i was least expecting

  • Hi  and a warm welcome to this corner of the Community although I am sorry to see you joining us snd to hear about your diagnosis.

    I am Mike and I help out around our various Lymphoma groups. 

    I don’t have Mantle cell lymphoma but for some context I was diagnosed way back in 1999 at 44 with a rare (8 in a million) incurable but treatable type of Cutaneous T-Cell NHL (a type of slow growing Low-grade non-Hodgkin lymphoma) ……. eventually reaching Stage 4a in late 2013 when a second, also rare (4 in a million) type of aggressive Peripheral T-Cell NHL (a type of fast growing High-grade non-Hodgkin lymphoma) was then presenting so although my Lymphoma ‘type’ is different I most definitely appreciate the challenges of this journey rather well.

    Do join and post in our dedicated……

    Mantel Cell Lymphoma

    ……. support group.

    I will keep an eye open for you and so can give you further help.
