Yes, my husband was 52 when diagnosed which was unusual. Most people who get splenic marginal zone lymphoma are closer to your mother’s age. The treatments have been easy to tolerate.

When we first got the diagnosis that he might have myeloma, I remember reading median survival was something like 36 months. However, since that time, there are a lot of new treatments. I currently know three people who have it and have had stem cell transplants and are doing well five and more years down the road.

There is always hope.
