Hodgkin's disease

Hodgkin's disease is a result caused by a mutation in  the white blood cells; this results in cancer. The cause of this disease is unknown but in cases where people have HIV, it occurs.  There might be a familial connection to it, too.

Symptoms:
weight loss
loss of appetite
itching
fever
cough
shortness of breath
fatigue

Treatment is to go to the doctor when these signs start to occur. It's best to get this diagnosed in the early stage of it.
