“In non-Hodgkin lymphoma, the affected lymphocytes start to multiply in an abnormal way and begin to collect in certain parts of the lymphatic system, such as the lymph nodes (glands).
“The affected lymphocytes lose their infection-fighting properties, making you more vulnerable to infection.”

Lymph nodes, also known as lymph glands, are pea-sized lumps of tissue found throughout the body.
