When i had breast cancer in 2016 i had a lumpectomy and radiation. I was also put on an oral pill. I just finished the chemo/immunotherapy in June and feeling pretty good. My spleen is down to 15 so i was wondering if there was an oral pill for maintenance. Thanks for the information!

Hi @trixie1, that is a good question to ask your oncologist. Not all cancer have a maintenance oral therapy like AIs for breast cancer. For some cancers, surveilance is the maintenance strategy. I'm so glad that your spleen is down. Will you discuss the options for maintenance therapy for SMZL with your oncologist at your next follow-up and share what you learn?
