Want to connect with others with Splenic B cell Marginal Zone Lymphoma

Want to take IV Vitamin C as complementary therapy, with SMZL. Since my spleen is already slightly enlarged from sequestering platelets, would a supplement known to increase platelets (vitamin C) make the spleen enlarge even more? My hematologist said “no” but am wondering if anyone else with SMZL has experience with IV Vitamin C and its effects? Thanks!

Vitamin C therapy is new to me so thank you for making me aware. I'm a SMZL patient (several years) and this past year underwent IGG infusion therapy. (My numbers were in the 400's, I believe 1000 - 1200 is normal.) This is the number my oncologist watches carefully. This is the only care I receive other than regular visits under the wait and watch protocol. it seems SMZL is quite a spectrum of symptoms and therapies! Laurie
