Hodgkin's disease lymphoma is a cancer that develops in your lymphnoids like the neck, chest, abdomen, pits and etc. it is a kind of slow cancer but after its been there for a while its starts spreading a little faster. The identifications to see if u have hodgkins disease lyphomia are shortness of breath, laziness, swollen lymphnoids, often nausea and stomach sickness. if you go to a hospital and they say its probably just a sinus infection tell them that you want to have a full body pet and ct scan. hodgkins usually happens to males of about 13-20 just because it mostly happens to males doesn't mean it cant happen to females it can just not a likely.
