I'm new here and recently received a diagnosis of Mantle cell lymphoma. My oncologist described it as aggressive but low risk. Honestly, I'm finding myself really overwhelmed and quite scared about what this diagnosis means for me.

      Welcome to the community, It's normal to feel overwhelmed. The term 'aggressive but low risk' can be confusing. It means that while the cancer can grow quickly, it's often treatable with a good response to therapy.

      Hi there, I'm really sorry to hear about your diagnosis. I was in a similar boat two years ago with Mantle cell lymphoma. It's definitely a lot to take in. My oncologist also described mine as aggressive but low risk. just take things one day at a time and focus on the treatments ahead. and ask your doctors lots of questions!
