My lymphoma was non-Hodgkin B-cell follicular lymphoma, levels 1 to 2.
Once I went for an annual check-up in June 2017, my physician observed some tenderness in a number of elements of my stomach. After ordering some assessments and a CT Scan, the most cancers was recognized, and I started chemo remedies in September 2017.
