About Whitby

I'm 47,last mon( 22feb) I was diagnosed with mantle cell lymphoma. I had blood tests,awaiting results on liver function. I have a bone marrow harvest on Tues followed by a Ct scan on Saturday. I have no idea what grade it is,but I'm keeping strong around my family and friends. I've heard they do a watch and wait system if it is low grade because if they start chemo too soo it will be less effective. Starving all the time and haven't lost any weight,but my lymph nodes are up in the groin,back ache and a rather annoying cough. Is there anyone out there who has the same thing,this lymphoma is rare.
