my dad was diagnosed with B-cell lymphoma cancer last week, after many test today we found out that he is at least stage 2, (still waiting on the bone morrow results) but doctors think he is just stage 2. He is a 65 white male who is overweight, if that matters. I need answers please.
What is the prognosis for 65 white male diagnosed with stage 2 B-cell lymphoma?
Lymphoma is highly treatable. I was stage 2e myself. [I forget what the e was for] Treatment won't be fun, but he go into remission and live the rest of his life normally. I'm glad you're there for him.
Here's a site with great info:

Reply:He might have a year or two, real dismal for him if he has to go through chemotherapy.
Reply:If he's only stage two, then he probably has a decent chance. Start treatment ASAP
Reply:Do have him see an oncologist to discuss the options available to him for treatment and ignore the flippant fool who answered first, lymphoma is one of the more treatable cancers I should know I have been in remission now since 1992 following a BMT I was stage four when diagnosed. Positive attitude and maintaining his nutrition is also key to winning the fight. Most Lymphomas respond well to combination chemotherapy and it is a little premature to think that this is an situation that cannot be rectified and treated in a effective manner. Best of luck to him for a speedy recovery
