Mantle cell lymphoma

Offline Kathy2010 over 9 years ago

I was a 62 year old woman when I was diagnosed with mcl. I went through 6 months of chemo to get ready for a stem cell transplant.

I was in remission for 3 years. Came out of remission and did 2 years of rituxan. I am in remission again .

Hoping to stay in remission but know each time I come out of remission the time that I am in remission is shorter then the last. (So I've been told)

Welcome to the forum Kathy.
It's great to hear that after two years of rituxan you are in remission again. I see you've been told that each time you come out of remission that the time you are in it is shorter than the last. If you want to find out more about this I would recommend talking to our nurses. If you are in the UK you can call them for free on 0808 800 4040 and they are available Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.
Having a quick search on our forum I have found some members you might want to talk to that have also had mantle cell lymphoma. Trev58 created this thread about it last month and eciguser has had mantle cell lymphoma twice. You can reply to his post about it here.
I hope this helps.
Kind Regards,
