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.

I wish I could find more research into causes. It seems to be focused on the drugs. All down to funding I suppose.
