Hello, Prior to being diagnosed, my only symptom was that I would bruise more easily, but wasn't concerning. I just thought it was age related. The blood test showed my lymphocytes high during an annual physical. Following this, there were a lot more blood tests, a bone marrow biopsy, lab testing, and a CT that showed my enlarged spleen. The analysis of all those tests provided the SMZL diagnosis. That was in 2019. In looking back to 2016 and 2017 blood tests, my lymphocytes and platelets were showing early changes and the Dr. felt I probably had SMZL in those earlier years. . Today, I have a bit of spleen discomfort and bruise easy but otherwise no problems. I see the Hematologist every 6 months.
How are you doing and what are your experiences. Thanks
