I was diagnosed with splenic marginal zone small b cell lymphoma in April of 2017. The Doctors at Mayo Rochester removed my enlarged spleen July 2017. In September 2017 I had another bone marrow biopsy and flow cytometry and the lyphoma was still in the bone marrow. In October I started 4 weeks of Rituxan. Had no side effects to the Rituxan. After the Rituxan the lymphoma is now gone but I still have night sweats and fatigue . I am now on wait and watch until the end of January next year.

I am a 65 year old man. I must have missed typed. It should have read ITP. Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. My main complaint is fatigue. It started to get better a few weeks after my splemnecctomy but now has returned.

I was diagnosed in May with splenic marginal zone lymphoma. For the past 6 years I have been dealing with Itp. Now it turns out that it was smzl.I had my spleen removed in July. Now I am waiting until April to have another bone marrow biopsie to see if the lymphoma in my marrow go down. Does anyone have any advice?
