Oscar Tue, 06 Mar 2007 00:00:00 GMT this is a rare, slow growing type of NHL, effecting the spleen,  with a 10 year survival of over 70%.  The treatment is to remove the spleen as chemotherapy has little effect. Oncrx Thu, 08 Mar 2007 00:00:00 GMT There is lots of anecdotal evidence that lymphomas respond well to Intravenous Vitamin C treatments. I know personally of several successes. If you are interested in hearing more about this, please send me a private message and I will share what I know.

Shemay Thu, 08 Mar 2007 00:00:00 GMT My husband has splenic b cell maraginal zone lymphoma.  He had his speen removed in 2/06.  He has involvement in his bone marrow and lymph nodes.  Now his platlets are at 68.thousand so they have started him on predisone.  If this is not sucessful in raising the platelets they will be starting a chemo/drug.  Has anyone had similar disease.  We were told this was slow and rare although things seem to be happening faster rather than slower.  Thanks for any info.
