Does anyone have splenic marginal zone lymphoma?

Considering 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!

Hi @lila1, I found several replies from other members who have experience with Vit C infusions or family members with the treatment. While they’re not specifically for SMZL they were for cancer patients. Here are 3 of the links:

More can be found by typing in Vitamin C Therapy in the search bar at the top. Hopefully this is helpful for you in getting positive feedback.
Is your hematologist on board with you receiving the treatment?
