Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #5: Weakness
The constant growth of cancer cells uses up more energy and nutrients in your body. This can lead to feelings of tiredness, weakness, and lethargy. If the lymphoma has affected the bone marrow, it may also interfere with the production of blood cells.
When the production of red blood cells is affected, the function of carrying oxygen to supply the rest of the body will be affected leading to more feelings of weakness. Anemia causes circulation to not be able to supply adequate oxygen to important organs such as the brain and muscles.
