Hodgkin's Disease

Also known as: Hodgkin lymphoma · lymphogranulomatosis · Hodgkin's disease · lymph node cancer · lymph gland cancer · HL · Hodgkin disease · Reed-Sternberg cells · malignant lymph node tumour
Your Body Is Speaking
It usually begins inconspicuously. A lymph node in the neck that swells and does not go back down. Perhaps night sweats, unexplained fatigue, a weight loss that nobody can account for. Then the diagnosis: Hodgkin's disease — a lymphoma, a cancer of the lymphatic system. Suddenly everything revolves around blood counts, staging, chemotherapy.
Oncology knows much about this lymphoma. It belongs to the cancers with the highest cure rates. And yet a question remains that no lab result can answer: Why right now? Why you? Why does your own defence system — the system that is supposed to protect you — turn against itself?
BodySignal does not replace oncological treatment. But it poses a question that has room alongside it: What is happening in your inner life that expresses itself so dramatically in the body?
