Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma?

can some one tell me what it does to the body and what is the life span.

Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma?
There are many different types of NHL. So if you could say which one it would help answer.





It oftens manifests itself as lumps in the lymphatic areas of the body, such as groin, armpit, neck etc. It is a cancer and is treated as such. Chemotherapy and surgery, sometimes radiotherapy.





Depending on the type of NHL, the life-span varies. Not sure if you mean survival chance or life-span of the illness. Some NHL can be treated with normal drugs, but only in very mild cases. Survival for the diagnosed depends on the response to treatment, but success rates are quite high if caught at stage 1 or stage 2 (this is where only 1 or 2 lymph areas are infected) Stage 3 is where it spreads inside the diaphragm and Stage 4 is multiple spread and is the most serious of all.





If you want any more info, drop me a mail. I've had this so hence I can tell you a lot about it
Reply:There are lots of different types of NHL, and they respond to treatment differently. I had aggressive diffuse large B cell NHL. It responded to treatment very well. It's been 2 years since my treatment, with no recurrence.
