Hodgkin's lymphoma — formerly known as Hodgkin's disease — is a cancer of the lymphatic system, which is part of your immune system. It may affect people of any age, but is most common in people between 20 and 40 years old and those over 55 - www.mayoclinic.org
It is not 100% confirmed yet as more testing is to be done but this young man needs everyone in his corner to fight this off! He is currently receiving treatment in Germany and is expected to miss the remainder of the season.
