Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma
What are the signs and symptoms of the disease?
Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma may grow slowly and cause few problems besides enlarged lymph nodes. The lymph nodes can be very large and may feel firm or rubbery. However, they are usually not tender to the touch. Other symptoms include:
abdominal pain
bone pain
chills
easy bruising or abnormal bleeding
fatigue
night sweats
skin lesions
unexplained fevers
unusual infections
weight loss
A person with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma may develop anemia, or a low red blood cell count. The person may tire easily, have pale skin, and develop shortness of breath.
