Primary Bone Lymphoma is a rare type of cancer that starts in the bones. Unlike most lymphomas, which usually begin in lymph nodes, this condition develops directly inside the bone.
It arises from lymphoid cells, which are part of the immune system and normally help the body fight infections. Even though it starts in bone, it is considered a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, not a typical bone cancer.
Many sufferers of Primary Bone Lymphoma struggle because they feel that their disease doesn’t have the same level of awareness as more common cancers. Without a Ribbon is an Australian non-profit organisation that believes that rare cancers should never go unnoticed. We aim to provide a detailed set of resources and information for anyone suffering from cancers such as Primary Bone Lymphoma. We have recently created an Primary Bone Lymphoma resource page to help sufferers understand their disease. It covers the symptoms, available treatments and other important information.
We hope that this resource page will help you or a friend/family member to learn about their illness and aid them through their battle with the disease.
