People with follicular lymphoma often experience different symptoms. Many people have no obvious symptoms at diagnosis or during a relapse, but some may experience abdominal or chest pain, persistent fatigue, shortness of breath or fever, night sweats, unexplained weight loss, or painless, swollen lymph nodes in the neck, armpit, or groin.1
Please note in order to diagnose follicular lymphoma or a relapse, a doctor may conduct a biopsy of a patient’s lymph node tissue and perform additional tests including a CT scan to determine if the disease has spread to other parts of the body.2 Make sure to promptly notify your healthcare provider of any severe symptoms. For individuals undergoing active treatment, we recommend discussing any symptoms with your healthcare provider to determine if they are related to your follicular lymphoma and/or treatment side effects.
