Detailed Answer:
Hello dear. I have gone through the reports and details . So It appears to a case of non hodgkin lymphoma and he requires further evaluation.
So a lymphoma is a cancerous condition of lymph nodes and blood.
Lymphoma is one such type of cancer which is completely curable.
Approximate cost of treatment can only be determined after reaching a final diagnosis which can be done only after a biopsy study.
Though it is serious illnes, it is curable.
Line of treatment will be chemotherapy and targeted therapy and radiation therapy as well.
As i said earlier, this disease is curable, so he will enjoy good amount of life.
Thanks and regards
