I went in for my usual check-up, feeling fine, and then my blood test came back with a high lymphocyte count. my Doctore is checking for mantle cell lymphoma. I hadn't heard about it before that. It's all been a bit overwhelming. Do you have any advice on how to navigate this? What should I do next?

Under no circumstance google it . It will scare you terribly. Dont jump to conclusions until testing is done and the doctor tells you what it all means .Wishing you the best

One of th major US cancer organizations put together this review of mantle cell lymphoma. It is a good place to start: https://www.nccn.org/patients/guidelines/content/PDF/Mantle-patient-guideline.pdf

Stay organized with your medical information. Keeping a binder with all my test results, treatment plans, and doctor notes made managing appointments and treatments less stressful.

@avocad01997 @avocad01997 This is terrific advice! How long have you been doing this?
take a deep breath. I know it's a lot to take in. My advice would be to find a specialist in mantle cell lymphoma if you haven't already. They can provide you with the most up-to-date treatments and advice. Don't hesitate to ask your doctor about everything, even the small stuff. No question is too minor when it comes to your health.
@Superman21 @Superman21 The specialists are definitely the best way to proceed if you can get to one. Do you have to travel far to get to yours?

We're here for you and understand what you're going through. Just take things one day at a time and focus on the treatments ahead. And ask your doctors lots of questions!"
