The lymphatic system includes the lymph nodes (lymph glands), spleen, thymus gland and bone marrow. Lymphoma can affect all those areas as well as other organs throughout the body.

Different factors affect which side effects you have. Talk to your provider in detail about the management of these potential side effects.
What can I expect with treatment outcomes?
Treatments have advanced over time, and many people positively well after treatment. Your doctor will talk to you in detail about your treatment plan. Your overall treatment plan depends on:
- The kind of lymphoma you have
- How far cancer has spread
- Your age
- The type of treatment you get
- What other health problems you may have
