Funny you should ask.....when I first told my daughter I have lymphoma, she asked if they couldn't just surgically remove the nodes. I bet most people don't understand the lymph system, it's just not something you hear about until you get lymphoma. That's just not how it works, now we know.

I knew there were a lot, but that’s a crazy number! Isn’t your spleen considered a big lymph node?
