My grandmother was diagnosed today with MCL...I immediately panicked and began searching on Google everything i could and after reading all that i became extremely depressed until i read the messages on this board...i have definitely calmed down, my only concern is that all the posts i read were ppl that were 70 years or younger...my grandmother is 85 years old. i know she will not qualify for the stem cell transplant but what are her chances of surviving? I know she is old and most ppl would suggest just living with it as long as possible...are the treatments even worth it for her at this point??? would she suffer more just letting the cancer take her or going through the chemo at this time in her life....she is a survivor of colon cancer but that was about 8 years ago....just feeling lost right now.
thank you for your time
