I am not a doctor, and you can certainly Google the two - but I have Splenic MZ lymphoma - which means it is located in the spleen. Hope that helps.

I found a fairly straight forward article explaining the differences between Marginal Zone Lymphoma and Splenic Marginal Zone Lymphoma.
This is an excerpt from the site I posted below. It goes into some good detailing of differences and similarities between the two.
“ Marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) is a rare subtype of non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL). It refers to a group of lymphoma type blood cancers that happen when some of your blood cells – called B-cell lymphocytes (B-cells) become cancerous. The three main subtypes of MZL include MALT, Nodal and Splenic MZL”.

How have you been feeling? Any change in your status?
