I am 82 years old with B cell lymphoma….I take Brukinsa and immune therapy infusions. I am stable but spleen is large….if I get radiation will I be able to remain independent?

Yes, you can potentially remain independent after radiation therapy for an enlarged spleen, but it depends on the cause of the splenomegaly, the specific radiation treatment, and your individual response to treatment. Radiation therapy can help shrink an enlarged spleen and alleviate symptoms, but it can also affect the spleen's function and increase the risk of infections.
