Lymphoma Symptoms
At the genesis of the
disease, lymphoma can have flu-like symptoms; these symptoms are passed unnoticed most of the times.
Swollen
lymph nodes in the neck, armpits or groin are
the first symptom of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Among other possible symptoms include unexplained fever, night
sweats, weight loss and pain in the stomach and intestines. As the tumor increases in size, you can develop
anemia associated with fatigue and weakness

abdomen or small intestine, it can cause:

Bloating.
A lymphoma in your groin or
