Symptom #4: Appetite Loss

Many patients suffering from lymphoma also experience loss of appetite which contributes to weight loss. Appetite loss can occur due to several factors such as the lymphoma affecting the abdomen, causing pain and swelling. It may be due to an enlarged lymph node or enlarging organs that have gotten involved in the disease. The fullness in the abdomen can be due to the build up of a high amount of fluid.

Splenomegaly (or enlargement of the spleen) can increase pressure on the stomach which contributes to the feeling of fullness and loss of appetite. Other abdominal symptoms such as nausea, pain, and vomiting can also contribute to loss of appetite.
