Lymphoma, in which we have more information about on our website, is the word used to describe a type of blood cancer that affects the lymphatic system. There are different types of Lymphoma but the main 2 include Hodgkin and Non Hodgkin Lymphoma. Hodgkin Lymphoma is identified because of the way the cancer cells appear under the microscope. Hodgkin Lymphomas contain a type of white blood cells called Reed Sternberg cells, whereas Non Hodgkin Lymphomas don't.
Acute Myeloid Leukaemia AML,again with information on our website, is a different type of blood cancer affecting the production of myeloid cells in the bone marrow.
