Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is a cancer that starts in the lymph nodes, which are part of the body’s immune system. It can affect people of all ages, and the symptoms can vary depending on the type of lymphoma and the stage of the disease.
Common symptoms of non-Hodgkin lymphoma include:
- Swollen lymph nodes in the neck, armpits, or groin
- Fever
- Night sweats
- Weight loss
- Fatigue
- Itching
Treatment for non-Hodgkin lymphoma typically involves chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or immunotherapy, depending on the stage of the disease.
Coulier’s diagnosis and courageous journey serve as a reminder of the importance of regular health checkups and early detection of cancer.
“If I had waited any longer, it could have been a lot worse,” Coulier said. “I’m so grateful I caught it early.”
Coulier’s positive attitude and determination to overcome this challenge are a source of inspiration for others facing similar journeys. His story highlights the strength of the human spirit and the power of support from loved ones during difficult times.
