Born on June 25, 1924 in Philadelphia, USA, to two performers, it’s clear to see where Lumet’s interest in the stage came from. Taking on an apprenticeship in the creative field, Lumet’s directing career didn’t garner much attention until 1957, when he was 33. The film, 12 Angry Men (1957) arguably became one of his greatest works, with other classics including Serpico (1973) and Dog Day Afternoon (1975).
According to Cancer Research UK, between 2016 and 2018, lymphoma was among the 10 most common cancers in males.
Macmillan Cancer Support explains lymphoma is a cancer of the lymphatic system.
One of the “most common” signs of the tumour is a “painless swelling in the lymph nodes in the neck, armpit or groin”.
Depending on where the lymphoma is located in the body, symptoms can manifest differently.
DON’T MISS:
If the lymphoma is in the chest area, for example, the signs of cancer can include:
- A cough
- Difficulty swallowing
- Breathlessness.
When lymphoma is present in the stomach or bowel, symptoms can include: indigestion, tummy pain, or weight loss.
Lymphoma can also lead to full-body symptoms, such as heavy, drenching night sweats.
There could be occasions where a high temperature (above 38C) randomly appears without an obvious cause.

“The most important test for diagnosing lymphoma is a biopsy,” Macmillan added.
While cancer can be a scary prospect, there are numerous treatments available to help get rid of the disease.
As with any type of tumour, the sooner cancer is diagnosed and treated, the better the outlook is likely to be.
