Hodgkin's disease anyone?


my couisin's boyfriend may have this disease....can anyone tell me more about it?

MedlinePlus is a good site to go to to find information about this type of cancer, views, diagnosis, treatments, issues, research, organizations, and latest news:

You don't mention your cousins boyfriends age, but that is a factor in the type of treatment, hospital, and type of oncologist he would be seeing.

Treatment for Adult Hodgkins

Treatment for Childhood Hodgkins
http://www.cancer.gov/cancerinfo/pdq/tre...

a type of cancer characterized by progressive chronic inflammation and enlargement of the lymph nodes of the neck, armpit, groin, and mesentery, by enlargement of the spleen and occasionally of the liver and the kidneys, and by lymphoid infiltration along the blood vessels.

Cancer of the lymphatic system... and one of the curable/treatable cancers with high probability.
