ESPN reporter who died at 34 didn’t know he had non-Hodgkin lymphoma — how common is it to not know?

ESPN reporter Edward Aschoff died Dec. 24 on his 34th birthday. His fiancée revealed on Wednesday that Aschoff had non-Hodgkin lymphoma — a disease that went undetected until a lung biopsy was performed after his death.

Hi all, Katy again- this will be my last post on Edward’s social media. I wanted to provide an update about Edward’s passing that may help people in processing it and making a little more sense of what happened. pic.twitter.com/6x7HPsZqZn In a separate tweet thread, Berteau shared that learning this information about her fiancé has brought her some comfort, writing: “It has helped me knowing that his passing was inevitable, and I’m at least grateful he didn’t have to go through the painful treatment and drawn out process of battling the disease.”

“Lymphoma affects the body’s lymph system, also known as the lymphatic system,” according to the ACS. “The lymph system is part of the immune system, which helps fight infections and some other diseases. It also helps fluids move through the body. Lymphomas can start anywhere in the body where lymph tissue is found.”

“The majority of patients who are diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma have symptoms,” Matthew Frank, MD, medical oncologist from Stanford Health Care, tells Yahoo Lifestyle. “However, a significant minority of patients are found to have non-Hodgkin's lymphoma incidentally while working up another medical problem.”

My anxiety didn’t need this
