The level of morbidity in Israel by Cancer of the lymph gland, also known as Hodgkin lymphoma disease, amongst young people is one of the highest in the world. The approximated reason for this Cancer is late exposure to childhood diseases such as Measles and Infectious mononucleosis.
Hodgkin lymphoma is a terrible disease that, unlike other types, affects also young people between the ages 15-35. This isue makes it more tragic since young people are also at risk.
Personally, I am scared because this disease is more common among men. Therefor I believe that it's important to pay attention to your body, and if you feel pain in your neck, armpits or other parts of your body, go to the doctor!
In my opinion, in the 21st century we must make in a point to find a cure, not only to Hodgkin lymphoma, but to all kinds of Cancer. Furthermore, parents must be aware to the fact that Cancer doesn't happen to all people.
In conclusion, being aware of the risk, keeping a healthy life style and visiting the doctor regularly may insure your health at any age.
