10 Symptoms of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

Unexplained Weight Loss

Most patients with non-Hodgkin will lose their weight at some point. This can be a result of other symptoms, such as fatigue, fever, and abdominal pain. Whenever you notice an unexplained weight loss, which is more than 10 pounds or 10 percent of the body weight in 6 months, it would be a possible sign. In the long run, this can lead to malnutrition and slow down your recovery. Having a balanced diet is important to provide the body with sufficient nutrients and minerals. Otherwise, the immune system will not have sufficient energy to fight cancer cells.[7]
