enlarged spleen

by wking, Apr 22, 2008 07:54PM
i have a moderatly enlarged spleen, it measures 15cm, i need to know if there is a treatment for this. i do have myelodysplasia, and have had a bone marrow aspiration 4 times in the past 2 years. I am a nurse and do have some medical knowledge.
My last MRI showed the spleen was 13.4 cm that was 2 years ago. I need to fly to be with my sister in alaska for her surgery.
