Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) Lime Green Awareness Ribbon Angel

Lymphoma is a type of blood cancer that occurs when lymphocytes—white blood cells that help protect the body from infection and disease—begin behaving abnormally.

There are two main types of lymphomas: Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) & non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL).

Certain symptoms are similar to those of many other illnesses & people often think they have a cold or the flu that does not go away. Common symptoms include: swelling of lymph nodes, fever, chills, lack of energy, & night sweats. Approximately 30 to 60 percent of patients with an aggressive form of NHL can be cured.

NHL uses a lime green awareness ribbon while HL uses a violet ribbon. Let this Lime Green Ribbon Angel help bring awareness to Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma!
