How Hodgkin's Disease Affects the Lymphatic System

I discovered that it's a type of lymphoma, which means it originates in our white blood cells, specifically the lymphocytes. As the disease progresses, it compromises our immune system by causing the lymph nodes to enlarge and impairing their ability to fight infections.
