Living Beyond Lymphoma
A lymphoma is a group of hematological diseases in which the body’s lymphatic system is affected. The main sign of lymphoma is an increase in the size of the lymph nodes of different groups (cervical, axillary, inguinal, etc.). Unfortunately, many people seek qualified help too late and self-medicate. As a result, precious time is lost and the person has serious complications.

Symptoms of the disease
If you have any of the following signs of the disease, you need to urgently see a doctor. Only a qualified specialist, after the study, will be able to make the correct diagnosis. Patients note the following signs of pathology:
- enlarged, painless lymph nodes;
- the decrease in body weight;
- temperature increase;
- night sweats.
Treatment and side effect
For the treatment of Hodgkin’s lymphoma and NHL, the clinic uses the most modern chemotherapy protocols, as well as targeted and immunotherapy drugs. In some cases, after chemotherapy, radiation therapy is prescribed – the involved lymph nodes are irradiated on a linear accelerator. Often, the doctor prescribes chemotherapy as a treatment, which kills cancer cells. The doctor prescribes several growth-inhibiting (cytostatic) drugs that support each other’s action. Depending on the type of leukemia, additional radiation therapy, stem cell transplantation, or specially targeted drugs follow.
