Hello. I was diagnosed with Splenic Marginal Zone Lymphoma October 2008. First round of Rituxan Chemo February 2009. SMZL appears to be rare. Are there any SMZL patients in this group? I would appreciate chatting with you.

Has anyone taken rituxon a second time with good results with the spleen reducing in size again?

although SMZL seems to be uncommon, you are not alone. I had the splenectomy 1st, before any other treatment. It was way to large to do anything else. I go in a couple of weeks for my semi annual CT... I hope that I'm still stable. I really don't want to have to have chemo again... I reacted to the rituxan and have get extra meds so it doesn't affect my heart. for me each infusion was an all day affair with the rituxan taking 6 hours and then another couple of hours for the chemo drugs.
