The lymphatic system comes up a lot in things related to cancer. It never showed up in high school biology or textbooks. I know that it involves the fluid known as ‘lymph’ but I don’t really understand what lymph is even after researching it.

Think of the lymphatic system like a highway for your immune system. It’s a network of tiny tubes and nodes (small structures) that carry a fluid called lymph around your body. Lymph is a clear fluid that has white blood cells to fight infections. This system helps remove waste, toxins, and unwanted materials from our body.
It’s not as well-known because it’s complex and not as directly related to everyday functions like breathing or digestion. But it’s super important for keeping us healthy by defending against diseases!
