Lymphoma is a cancer of certain types of white blood cells called lymphocytes, which are part of the immune system and mostly found in lymph nodes. Cancer occurs when these blood cells mutate and grow out of control.

All about Lymphoma (Malignant neoplasm)
FACTS: The term cancer applies to more than 100 different diseases, all of which have two things in common. As a result of genetic damage, normal cells become cancerous and can grow in an uncontrolled manner. In addition, these cells are able to invade other tissues, disrupting and destroying the structures and organs that they infiltrate.
As with all cancers, lymphoma develops due to genetics as well as risk factors including poor diet, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption and lack of exercise. Although the fundamentals of treatment – surgery, radiation and chemotherapy – have not changed in many years, advances in imaging, diagnosis, and sophisticated methods for delivering therapies have greatly improved their effectiveness. In addition, breakthroughs in immunotherapy are now being put into practice. As a result, many who develop cancer have a greatly improved chance of recovery and most will survive the experience.
Lymphoma is a cancer of certain types of white blood cells called lymphocytes, which are part of the immune system and mostly found in lymph nodes. Cancer occurs when these blood cells mutate and grow out of control. There are two main types of lymphoma: Non-Hodgkin and Hodgkin. Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is the most common form and is any lymphoma not involving Reed-Sternberg cells. Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) involves Reed-Sternberg cells, which are distinctively large, abnormal lymphocytes that may contain more than one nucleus.
Lymphoma is a complex cancer with many forms of both NHL and HL. The specific types and diagnosis depends on where the lymphoma begins in the body, the type of blood cells that turn cancerous, the chromosome features of the cells, and the presence of certain proteins on the cells.

Fun gift for someone with cancer
Got this for my uncle who was just diagnosed with Non Hodgkin Lymphoma. Everyone was entertained, 10/10, fun little cancer cell guy
I am a first time customer and was not disappointed! The quality is great, especially for the price. This is a great gift I gave to a friend who is a newly graduated MLS, he loved it!

Purchased for the chemo infusion center so the staff had a visual tool to represent what lymphoma was and when turned to the white side what the intended outcome would be, smiles.

I bought this for my 13yo that was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. He took it with him during his latest inpatient chemo stay and showed every who took care of him. He also used it as a “mood” indicator to show them how he was feeling during treatment.

This was such a great gift for my kids to help them understand their grandfather’s cancer. We have a number of different microbes and so our kids understand there are small “bugs” that can make us sick. This helped them know what kind of “bug” granddaddy has. I love that it’s reversible, too!
