Welcome, Sally. Yes, we have quite a group of members talking about splenic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL) also called Splenic B cell Marginal Zone Lymphoma. I moved your post to this active discussion thread in the Blood Cancers group (https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/blood-cancers-disorders/)

- Want to connect with others with Splenic B cell Marginal Zone Lymphoma https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/would-like-to-know-anybody-with-splenic-b-cell-marginal-zone-lymphoma/

I did this so you can connect easily with @scsimpson @theresad2 @caroldk @waltera @kayak4me @reneemp @stanleykent @cdwilm27 and others who have experience with enlarged slpeen, Rituxan and living with this cancer.

Sally, waiting for your next follow-up is hard. I join you in hoping that the numbers are still on the downward trend. When was your last Rituxan treatment? What makes you feel like your stomach is growing again?

Hi Coleen, thank you so much for moving my post over to where it should reside! My last Rituxan treatment was end of January this year. I had 4 of them, each a week apart. I am hypervigilant about my torso changing shape now (my cancer doc said my spleen was all the way down to below my belly button when she saw me in January. It had shrunk a great deal, but I swear I have a "tire" now below the spleen region. Again, I am a bit phobic about any changes, since it was overlooked by everyone that performed an exam on me for 6 months.
