Hello
My dad is 53 and found out he has MCL 5 days ago. He developed a grape like lump on his tonsils. (we all thought it was a cyst, until he got the results from the biosopy) We are going for the first CT tomorrow. We will be meeting with a doctor in Boston on Friday to discuss treatment options. Does it matter on what stage your at? We are all very terrified. He feels great, and so confused on how and why he has it. It has been a VERY long and emotional weekend. I freaked out when I read the scary stats online. After reading this blog, I feel a little better, but still confused. What is Mantel Cell, and how is it different from regular Lymphomia? Does it attack your organs? Is it throughout your lymphatic system or just in particular lymph nodes? I am so glad they have websites like this you we can network and find great support.
