Help Spread Awareness of Hodgkin’s Lymphoma
July 31, 2010Hodgkin’s lymphoma, formerly known as Hodgkin’s Disease, is a type of lymphoma—a cancer that originates in the white blood cells, or lymphocytes. You may have also heard of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, another common cancer of the lymphatic system. (The other type, non-Hodgkin’s, is far more common.)
If a person has Hodgkin’s lymphoma, cells in their lymphatic system grow abnormally and may also spread beyond the lymphatic system. As Hodgkin’s lymphoma progresses, it compromises your body’s ability to fight infection.
Hodgkin’s lymphoma was once considered fatal, but advancements in the diagnosis and treatment of the cancer have created a lot of hope. Although every situation is unique, Hodgkin’s lymphoma is now considered highly treatable and many patients have the potential for making a full recovery.
Common Symptoms of Hodgkin’s Lymphoma
The Mayo Clinic offers a list of common warning signs and symptoms of Hodgkin’s lymphoma. They may include some of the following:
- Painless swelling of lymph nodes in your neck, armpits or groin
- Persistent fatigue
- Fever and chills
- Night sweats
- Unexplained weight loss — as much as 10 percent or more of your body weight
- Coughing, trouble breathing or chest pain
- Loss of appetite
- Itching
- Increased sensitivity to the effects of alcohol or pain in your lymph nodes after drinking alcohol
These symptoms may be caused by a variety of other medical conditions, but it important to see your see your doctor if you begin to notice changes in your body. It’s better to be safe than sorry.

Lymphoma Awareness Basics
June 4, 2010Lymphoma, a type of blood cancer, affects the lymphatic system, the network of vessels and nodes that carry white blood cells. Lymphoma begins when white blood cells called lymphocytes — which are supposed to help protect the body from infection and disease — begin behaving abnormally. Abnormal lymphocytes may divide faster than normal cells or live longer than they are supposed to.
Lymphoma can develop in various areas of the body, and it often begins in the lymph nodes, spleen, bone marrow, blood, or other organs. There are two main types of lymphoma: Hodgkin’s lymphoma and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. In both types of the cancer, the lymphatic cells begin to grow abnormally, causing the lymph nodes to become larger than usual.
In most cases, Hodgkin’s lymphoma follows a more predictable pattern than non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and it often has a more limited spread, while non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas are more likely to involve many different areas of the body.
Some lymphomas have high cure rates and others can be managed effectively for many years, which is one important thing to keep in mind if you or someone you love has been diagnosed with this form of cancer.
Awareness Gift Boutique is comprised of cancer survivors and survivor spouses, and we understand the importance of spreading awareness of causes that matter. Our online boutique features an impressive selection of lymphoma awareness products, some of which can be seen below:
