I was diagnosed with Mantle Cell in June 2021. I had six chemotherapy treatments, which was not as bad as I was led to believe. I had a bone marrow transplant on the 23rd December 2022. A little more difficult, no further treatments since. Just gone onto four monthly check ups with my consultant. I am 76 now and feeling fine.
Hi Stonehengeguy 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 Mantle Cell Lymphoma but I was diagnosed way back in 1999 at 43 with a rare, incurable but treatable type of Low Grade NHL eventually reaching Stage 4a in late 2013 so although my Lymphoma ‘type’ is different I do appreciate the challenges of this journey rather well........ especially as I have had 2 Allo (donour) Stem Cell Transplants (Bone Marrow Transplants) back in June 2014 then Oct 2015...... and I remain in remission to this day.
It's good that you are doing well after your SCT and being 4+ months out and doing good is a very good sign.
We actually have a dedicated Stem cell transplant support group and you may find this link helpful Life after a SCT - A Survivor's Guide as it's a place where folks from different blood cancers share their ups and down post SCT.
Always around to help more or just to chat
