Symptoms of advanced lymphoma
Advanced lymphoma can present with the following symptoms:
- Some people feel unexplained pain in the lower back. This is thought to be caused by expanding lymph nodes pressing on nerves.
- People often feel pain in the lymph nodes when they drink alcohol.
- If the lymphoma involves lymphatic tissue in the abdomen, intestine or stomach, fluid can accumulate near the intestine, causing a sensation of abdominal pressure, pain, diarrhea and/or digestive disturbance.
- An enlarged lymph node sometimes causes other symptoms because it presses on a vein (causing an arm or leg to swell) or a nerve (causing arm or leg pain, numbness or tingling).
- As lymphoma progresses and cancerous lymphocytes spread beyond the lymphatic system, the body loses its ability to fight infection. The general symptoms that develop can be mistaken for the signs of flu, tuberculosis or other infections.
Why lymphoma can cause back pain
Lower-back pain in lymphoma is usually due to enlarged lymph nodes in the abdomen or pelvis pressing on surrounding nerves.
Immune support
Cancer knows how to send cloaking signals, so the immune system finds it hard to detect. Concentrated mushroom-polysaccharide formulas are studied for their role in strengthening the immune response during oncological disease, alongside conventional treatment.
