I've had Sjogren's for 30 years and in 2023, I was diagnosed with Extranodal Marginal Zone Lymphoma on the base of my tongue. So yes, if you have Sjogren's, you are at an increased risk for developing lymphoma. I had radiation and am thankfully now in remission. I also have Interstitial Lung Disease which is also associated with Sjogren's. I am on Plaquenil and I use refresh eye drops and the Biotene mouth rinse which really helps my dry mouth at night.

Yes, there is a medical connection between Sjorgens and Lymphoma. I would suggest to anyone with Sjorgens ask their Dr to run a cancer panel just to be safe. I am also on Plaquenil, mouth washes, eye drops, and I always have a Stanley with me with ice water. It's a daily battle but I just try to laugh my way through it!❣️
