Mantle Cell Lymphoma help!!!

My ex husband has just been diagnosed with mantle cell lymphoma. He has been told he will need. PET scan to determine if it is fast growing and a procedure to check if it is in his bones (I forgot the name of it)!. Our concern is that he was told on 13th Jan he had lymphoma cancer and has had biopsy/ct scan since then. He has had to wait until today for results and now will have to wait further for appointments and then results. I know it needs to be investigated but we are worried over timescale and if it is fast growing will the delays have made it worse! Does anybody else have any experiences? Thank you 

  • Hello Numberonemum3,

    I'm sorry to hear about your ex husband and hope the results from Monday have given his medical team a better idea of how to treat him. I can understand that you would be worried about the wait for these tests, but it's the best way for them to see the whole picture and determine what to do next. It's important to tell them about any of your worries so they can address them. 

    I hope this helps,
