How Long Can I Live Without Treatment For Lymphoma?

I have a friend whose daughter was just diagnosed with lymphoma (through a blood test). She has already been extremely sick a long time, is very under-weight, tired, etc. How long can she be expected to live if she does no treatment? She is too weak to stand chemotherapy, etc.

Oncologist,  's  Response
Weight loss, fever, night sweats are symptoms due to lymphoma.. They are called B symptoms. Lymphomas generally have a very good response to chemotherapy and patient should be given even if the oncologist has to modify the dose or drugs in protocol.
I hope it helps. You can further discuss it with your oncologist.
