Yes! Many members of MyLymphomaTeam have Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia (WM), which is a form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. It's a slow-growing blood cancer that affects B cells in your immune system.

Members often share their experiences with symptoms like fatigue, bone and joint pain, digestive issues, and bruising. As one member shared: "Mostly, I feel pretty well, although some degree of fatigue is always present." While WM is more common in men and typically diagnosed around age 70, it's important to know that it's very treatable. The five-year survival rate is approximately 78%, and there are several treatment options available including biological therapy and targeted treatments.

Though there isn't a cure, proper treatment can help manage symptoms and slow disease progression. Regular blood tests can help monitor the condition effectively.
