From Neck and Head Swelling To CANCER - Jim | Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (DLBCL) | The Patient Story

Jim Zervanos shares his story that began with a shocking and sudden symptom—his neck and head swelling dramatically without warning. Despite multiple doctors being baffled and unable to pinpoint the cause, Jim's determination and an incredible team of surgeons led to a groundbreaking surgery that saved his life. Diagnosed with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, Jim overcame a near-fatal condition that had never been seen before in living patients.

In this cancer vlog, Jim opens up about his experiences with chemotherapy, his life-threatening surgery to replace his superior vena cava, and how hope, faith, and self-advocacy played crucial roles in his survival.

Thank you, Jim, for sharing your story to help others.
