The Empowered Survivor
In His Own Words
Rob Shares His Experience"I got much more out of cancer than cancer ever took from me,” says CTCA non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma survivor Rob.
Lymphoma cancer patients at Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA) have a story to tell. In this section, you will read a story of a non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma survivor who shares how he found the courage to fight cancer, and a team willing to fight with him, at CTCA.
What is Lymphoma?
Lymphoma is a term for cancers that develop from cells of the lymphatic system (which is part of the body’s immune system) called lymphocytes (a subset of white blood cells responsible for immunity and fighting infections). There are two basic categories of lymphomas: Hodgkin’s lymphoma (also called Hodgkin’s disease) and non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas (NHL). Hodgkin’s lymphoma is marked by the presence of an abnormal lymphocyte called the Reed-Sternberg cell (or B lymphocyte). NHL includes all other lymphomas and develops from white blood cells in other parts of the lymphatic system, including the bone marrow, spleen, thymus and lymph nodes.

“Within the next week, CTCA had done what had taken the other facility weeks to accomplish. I was diagnosed, staged, given my options of how I could receive treatment for the non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma I had, told what my prognosis was and assured that I was not alone in my fight. I was on a team now—which I was to be a big part of—and we were going to do everything possible to beat this disease.”
