Why’d I get it?

There is no known or agreed upon cause for lymphoma.  None that I can find—barring one possible and unproven link to a pesticide used on farms decades ago, and for this suburban girl, that isn’t really a possibility.  And Just for the record, I’m otherwise very healthy.  I’ve never smoked, I drink rarely, I am forced to exercise by a close friend who is both a lawyer and certified personal trainer, and my love for tennis keeps me running around enough to make everything work.  My worst vice is a chocolate chip cookie that the husband makes, and nobody is making me give that up yet.  So why did I get it and what can I do to prevent it?  We don’t know, but it’s here, and it stinks, but we do know what we can do to get rid of it, and for that, I am grateful.
