Lymphatic cancer or Lymphoma is a cancer of the lymphatic system, which is part of the body's germ-fighting network.

The lymphatic system includes the lymph nodes (lymph glands), spleen, thymus gland and bone marrow. Lymphoma can affect all those areas as well as other organs throughout the body.

Many types of lymphoma exist. The main subtypes are:

Hodgkin's lymphoma (formerly called Hodgkin's disease)

Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma

What lymphoma treatment is best for you depends on your lymphoma type and its severity. Lymphoma treatment may involve chemotherapy, immunotherapy medications, radiation therapy, a bone marrow transplant or some combination of these.

Depends on the lymphoma... some are familial, bad genes passed down in families, some things increase risk are exposure to things like organophosphates, radiation, benzene, smoking, obesity and so on, but there are no known causes, just and increase risk of getting a blood cancer/lymph cancer.

Jackie, you have an excellent reply there from CllCanada.

Have you been diagnosed with a blood cancer, suspect you may have one or just asking out of general interest?

It’s a question we all ask ourselves Jackie and in many ways it’s wasted energy because we may never know. Is there any familial CLL in the family? What age is your son and how is he doing on Ibrutinib?
