Hodgkin's lymphoma, formerly known as Hodgkin's disease, is a type of lymphoma characterized by the presence of Reed-Sternberg cells. Unlike other lymphomas, whose incidence increases with age, Hodgkin's lymphoma occurs more frequently in two separate age groups, the first being young adulthood (age 15-35), the second being in those over 50 years old.
I'm scared. I had hodgkins in nov 98. Went thru chemo, twice b/c the ABVD didn't work completly so they did dice and then I had a stem cell transplant 2ooo. I'm in remission ever since.
