Is Lymphoma Inherited?

Lymphoma is not inherited – it is not passed from parent to child. However, your risk of developing lymphoma is slightly higher if you have a close relative (parent, brother or sister, or child) who has had lymphoma. This increased risk is usually not linked to a particular gene.  SOURCE:  Lymphoma-action.org/uk

IN MY PARTICULAR SITUATION THIS IS GOOD BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT MY DAUGHTER HAVING TO DEAL WITH ALL THE CANCER RELATED PROBLEMS WITH WHICH i HAVE HAD TO DEAL OVER THE LAST 12 (going on 13) YEARS.

IT IS ALSO NICE TO KNOW THAT MY MOTHER, WHO CONTRACTED LYMPHOMA IN HER 90's DID NOT PASS IT ALONG TO ME IN HER GENES...  I GOT THIS BAD BOY ALL ON MY OWN...
