Waldenström Macroglobulinemia 

Waldenström macroglobulinemia is a type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that grows mainly in bone marrow, but can also develop in organs including the spleen and liver. While it can occur in younger people, most often this cancer occurs later in life. While some people with Waldenström macroglobulinemia have no symptoms, others experience swollen lymph nodes, weakness, severe fatigue, weight loss, nose bleeds and neurological and vision problems.
