Like you, I was recently diagnosed with a blood cancer called Multiple Myeloma, which affects the plasma cells of my blood. And like you, I am a "watch and wait" approach, getting tested every three months. My oncologist is a well-trained guy, and very matter of fact. There are specific components he is watching, and does not want to start until we have to, because of other health issues I have. It is like waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Here is an awesome article from the leukemia society in Australia, that talks about your small cell lymphoma. You will see that it is often grouped with chronic lymphocytic lymphoma. https://www.leukaemia.org.au/blood-cancer-information/types-of-blood-cancer/lymphoma/non-hodgkin-lymphoma/small-lymphocytic-lymphoma/

Also, @1nan may have some input to offer you.
