Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL)

I am 18 years old and from a small town in New Jersey. I was diagnosed with stage 4 anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL). I have spent my whole senior year of high school in the hospital not being able to be home for eight months and missing out on my whole senior year.

I'm a 32-year-old woman, and I battled stage III nodular sclerosis Hodgkin lymphoma (NSHL) from ages 27 to 29. It started with the base of my throat being enlarged to experiencing every symptom you could possibly get from this disease as I was misdiagnosed for a year straight.

I’m Steven, a 23-year-old who is no stranger to hard work and resilience. I juggle two jobs and live independently, but six months ago, my life took an unexpected turn when I was diagnosed with a rare form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). In a heartbeat, I was thrown into a world of uncertainty, doctors’ appointments, and intensive treatments.

I am a four-time diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) survivor and a recent stem cell transplant (SCT) survivor. DLBCL is a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). My first diagnosis was in 2007, then 2012, 2013, and 2023. I received invaluable support financially from The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS). People often ask how I am so positive after all I've been through.

My son, Peyton, was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) in 2021 when he was just eight years old. I nearly dropped to the ground in devastation when I heard the words, "Your child has cancer." As a parent, I wanted to fix it. I wanted to make things better but did not know how. We just knew that we were going to fight and learn as much as we could to beat this.

I was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) in 2019 when I developed a lump under my left chin line. They removed the lump, and then I went through radiation therapy for several months (only four days per week). After more tests, it was determined I was cancer-free. But then a few months later, on the right side of my face by my ear, another lump appeared.
