My Husband Was Diagnosed With An AGGRESSIVE Cancer (DLBCL) “We thought he was just sick"

FREE Toolkit: https://thepatientstory.co/dl2601-e2-... Kat didn't know what lymphoma was until she was googling it on the walk to the hospital. Weeks earlier, her fiancé Jeff could barely make it two blocks without stopping to catch his breath then an X-ray found his lungs full of fluid, and doctors found a mass suspicious for lymphoma. Jeff was diagnosed with an aggressive form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma: diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, or DLBCL. In a single afternoon, Kat went from planning their wedding to becoming Jeff's insurance negotiator, symptom tracker, and fiercest advocate. This is a reminder that caregivers don't have to already know how to do this. They learn it in real time, the same way Kat did.
