Guide To The Different Types Of Lymphoma

Lymphomas are forms of cancer that start in the lymphocytes. These are the immune system cells responsible for battling pathogens. When these cells are cancerous, they can travel through the bloodstream and the lymphatic system. They often spread to the liver, lungs, bone marrow, and spleen. Common symptoms found in lymphomas are fatigue, fever, unexplained weight loss, and swollen lymph nodes. There are many forms of this cancer. Most fall into two major categories: Hodgkin lymphoma and Non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Living with lymphoma is quite difficult. That said, treatment is possible. Stem cell transplants and chemotherapy are the most popular by far.
