I know that lymphoma found in the early stages is very treatable. GL.

DH's grand dad had that last year, they did a round of chemo and he has been in remission ever since.  Its a very treatable  form of cancer from what I hear. I wish your step sister all the best, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. (((((HUGS))))

My brother was diagnosed when he was 17 he was in remission by the time he was 19. The chemo and radiation were tuff. He actually stopped chemo because he got very sick and my mother was getting him ESIAC tea and when he went back the cancer was completly gone.I am not saying that the tea cured him, but all his Dr's said they never saw someone go into remission so quick. Good luck.

My dad has non-hodgkins lymphoma (2 kinds of it actually), really depends what kind she has, some are easily treated and some never go away but can go in remission....

My brother was diagnosed about 2 years ago, just 2 days before graduating from college.  They managed to catch it so early he only had 6 sessions of chemo (as opposed to the 8 he was originally supposed to have) and a couple months of radiation.  He's been in remission for more than a year now and it looks good right now.  Hodgkin's Disease is one of the more curable kinds of cancer if it's caught early.  I wish your step-sister the best of luck!
