I have looked at the sharing on this site and appreciate the comments. I myself have been diagnosed with splenmatic marginal zone lymphoma about 18 years ago. I was on watch and wait until about four years ago when I started having symptoms from a very enlarged spleen. Fortunately, in the area where I live my oncologist that was following me decided to retire so I decided to get a second opinion at Mayo clinic, and immediately was informed that my spleen was extremely enlarged. Their solution at that time, which was four years ago, was to have the spleen removed with no other treatment.

It is now over four years since my spleen has been removed and I’ve been doing very well, I just get checked about once every six months.
