large B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL)I was diagnosed with large B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) on May 2, 2023. It was such a shock to me, but months prior to the diagnosis, I already wasn’t feeling well. I was dealing with body aches every day, and nothing would help take the pain away. It wasn’t until I had a bad case of food poisoning that I ended up in the ER.

non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphoma (B-NHL)My life has been an interesting journey. In April 2019, I lost my wife of 20 years, and in August 2020, I lost my older brother to leukemia. My wife was 50, and my brother was 64. After several months of excruciating pain in my abdomen, I was finally diagnosed with non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphoma (B-NHL) in May 2021. I was 58.

stage 3 T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL)It all happened 23 years ago. I had gone to my primary care physician (PCP) for an earache, then showed him the moveable lump on the left side of my neck. After I was diagnosed with stage 3 T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), I lost my hair halfway through doing CHOP chemotherapy, and then two weeks later, I did radiation daily while working nights.

diffuse large B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (DLBCL)In 2018, I had what I thought was a urinary tract infection (UTI). It ended up being a tumor in my bladder the size of a lime. It turned out to be diffuse large B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (DLBCL). I ended up doing six rounds of R-CHOP chemo with Neulasta® and a month of radiation afterward.

stage 4 non-Hodgkin Burkitt lymphomaMy name is Bryan, but most know me by my stage name Hennessy Williams. I was diagnosed with stage 4 non-Hodgkin Burkitt lymphoma (BL) on July 1st, 2005. I was 20 years old. It was the hardest battle I ever faced, I am lucky to be here, I am lucky to be alive. I am alive because I had a tremendous amount of support from my family and friends, not everyone is blessed with this option.
