Hodgkin disease is a type of lymphoma. And if a female have this disease and to start nodal irradiation and the couple also trying for a baby, the nurse should consider and inform them because women who is in the childbearing years should be informed of all options that are available to preserve function of ovaries that the ovaries can be surgically moved and placed in a shielded area.
