My Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma Symptoms: “They Thought it was a UTI!” | The Patient Story

When Lena V. started getting blood in her urine, she never imagined it could be lymphoma. With no other common lymphoma symptoms like night sweats or weight loss, Lena and her doctors initially thought it might be a UTI. She then started getting blood clots and later tests showed a large tumor in her bladder and she was diagnosed with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, a non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

In this cancer vlog, she shares how after an intense treatment journey involving surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation, she reached 5 years with no evidence of disease - considered cured for her type of lymphoma.
