4. Weight Loss
Another symptom of non-Hodgkin lymphoma is weight loss. Weight loss is a normal occurrence that anyone may experience. Some people intentionally aim to lose weight for different reasons and perform exercises or follow dietary plans to attain this goal. However, if weight loss is experienced rapidly and without any known cause, it may be a sign of an underlying problem.
Weight loss is common with most cases of cancer and more than 40% have encountered a sudden decrease in weight. Patients with non-Hodgkin lymphomas which usually affect parts of the body near the digestive tracts are mostly the sufferers of this symptom. This is partly caused by loss of appetite due to the pain experienced either near the mouth or stomach.
