Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is a blood cancer that involves lymphocytes—white blood cells that help fight infections. Abnormal lymphocytes build up in the lymph nodes, bone marrow, and spleen. NHL can be indolent (slow-growing) or aggressive. Follicular lymphoma is the most common type of indolent NHL and can be a chronic disease.
If your doctor refers to your follicular lymphoma as “relapsed,” this might mean it has returned after responding to previous treatment. If your follicular lymphoma has not responded to previous treatment, your doctor may refer to your disease as “refractory.”
Possible relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma symptoms you should watch for include:
Symptoms of follicular lymphoma may be seen in other conditions as well. Only your doctor will be able to tell if your symptoms are related to follicular lymphoma.
While you are being treated and after your treatment concludes, your doctor will continue to monitor your follicular lymphoma.
