Two blood cancers with such similar names, Non-Hodgkin and Hodgkin Lymphoma, is bound to cause confusion. The Dana Farber Cancer Institute
has created a great infographic to help clear up any mix-up.
Hodgkin Lymphoma? Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma? What’s the Difference?
Thank you for the wealth of clear easy to understand by non specialist but concerned parents. My 22 year old daughter was diagnosed with Hodgkin last month
EXCELLENT visuals, Kathleen. Just to add, my late Dad had Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma back in the 80s, when he was around 52y old.. But he was diagnosed early when he discovered his lump at his groin (enlarged inguinal lymph node) .. Went through the chemotherapy & radiotherapy.. And lived till he was 80y.
Great information! Easy to digest. I learned a thing or two and I’ve had both disease types since 1979, 8x.
