Can a DLBCL relapse cause nausea?

Yes, nausea can be a symptom of DLBCL relapse, particularly if the lymphoma affects your abdomen. When DLBCL returns, it can cause swollen lymph nodes in the mesenteric area (deeper in your abdomen), leading to abdominal pain along with nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea.

Additionally, if the relapse causes your spleen or liver to swell from abnormal B cells building up, this can press on nearby organs and contribute to digestive symptoms including nausea and loss of appetite.

If you're experiencing persistent nausea along with other symptoms like abdominal pain, swollen lymph nodes, fever, night sweats, or unexplained weight loss, it's important to contact your oncology team. They can perform additional testing such as biopsies, imaging, and blood work to determine if your symptoms are related to a relapse or another condition.

Keep in mind that nausea can have many causes unrelated to lymphoma, but it's always better to check with your healthcare team sooner rather than later.
