Yes, it is considered a type of blood cancer affecting the lymphatic system. Please consult a hematologist as soon as possible for the right guidance.

Ho na, lymphoma blood cancer ka hi part hota hai jo lymph nodes mein shuru hota hai. Par isme treatment options bahut acche hote hain aajkal, so jyada tension mat lo.

My uncle recovered from Hodgkin lymphoma five years ago. Yes, it is a lymphatic blood cancer, but it is highly treatable. Don't delay the treatment and keep a positive mindset throughout chemotherapy.

Yes it is. If you are going for diagnostic tests like PET scan or biopsy, check government hospitals or labs with CGHS rates because these tests can be quite expensive in private hospitals.

Yes, it affects the immune system and is grouped under blood cancers. Like my thyroid management, early detection and regular blood tests make a massive difference, so please get an expert opinion immediately.
