There are a lot of variables, but in general, Lymphoma is treatable. Find out what type and stage from his doctor. His doctor would have the best info on your dad's prognosis.


Other good info is at this link:

Reply:cancer is bad but they have treatments now that keeps the body going for a good while and god bless you and ur family
Reply:Cancer is never good. It depends on the extent that the cancer has spread. Sometimes it can be cured completely. Sometimes the growth is simply slowed. Sometimes it is really bad. Hire a good specialist...
Reply:Cancer of any kind is bad. But what is going on with him---you need to discuss that with him. No one here can tell you about your father's particular diagnosis. No one here knows if it's spread and what stage his is in.
Reply:it's a long hard road all i can say is the family needs to be there for him. if he has to have kimo he will have good days and bad. keep your head up kid.
Reply:it depends what kind of lymphoma and what stage it is in, meaning how far advanced the cancer is.


sit down with your dad and ask him.


you can do research on webmd
Reply:Don't lose hope! I know someone who was in stage four when the doctors discovered the cancer. He survived the cancer and is currently doing really well! Good luck!
Reply:the oncologist would be the one to talk to...did you go in with him to talk to the oncologist? It is good to have someone with you when you go, because when you are in shock with the diagnosis of cancer, you don't hear half of what is said..it just goes right over your head and the only word you hear is "Cancer"...
