Hi, I'm yet another new member of the MCL forum ..... I'm led to believe that I might be one of the younger people here as I am 49

  • Hi   and a warm welcome to this corner of the Community although I am always sorry to see folks joining us. I am Mike and I help out around our various Lymphoma groups. 

    I don’t have MCL but was diagnosed way back in 1999 with a rare, incurable but treatable type of Skin NHL (CTCL) Stage 4a so although my Lymphoma ‘type’ is different I know this journey rather well.

    I actually don't know if you are one of the younger people to have MCL..... I was 43 when I was diagnosed with my rare type but lets see if any of the group members are looking in.

    I always highlight the Lymphoma Action website. Lymphoma Action is a small but very active UK Lymphoma Specific Charity who have lots of good reliable information, videos and run regular Regional Lymphoma Online Support Groups and a great Lymphoma Buddy Service where people can be linked up with someone who has walked the same treatment journey.

    Always around to help more or just to chat
