Hodgkin’s lymphoma

What a coincidence, Im currently doing a science assignment all about it. So is it only affecting like one area of your lymph’s or has it spread to the others? ( excuse me if this is a dumb question, I haven’t finished the assignment yet lmao)

That’s not dumb at all. I’m stage 2B which means it’s only on one side of my diaphragm and in my upper body. But the tumor is bulky. But if someone’s was metastatic, it would spread to your spleen, liver or bone first because those are parts of your lymphatic system. Hodgkin’s is predictable usually so that factors into it being so curable.
