I have always thought that was what caused my husbands DLBCL . He had mono at 16 years old and developed asthma after that and was always sick throughout his adulthood. He passed away last year after battling the disease for over 2 years. Dr disagrees with me that is could have been EBV virus but I am confident it was.
