How To Treat T Cell Lymphoma?

I have been diagnosed with T Cell Lymphoma. I have had Myleodysplastic Syndrome for the past 7 years and Since March 10, I have had 11 units of blood. I want to know what T Cell Lymphoma is. My doctor said it is rare and I will need chemo (CHOP). He isw hard to understand but is a very good doctor.

hi
in our body, RBC,WBC,PLATELETS ETC. BLOOD CELLS are newly produced from bone marrow at constant rate. defect in this normal systhesis results in myelodysplastic syndrome in which all blood cells count decrese more or less.
now in WBC CELL series,different types are there.
LYMPHOCYTE is one of the types. among lymphocte,there is T CELL,B CELL etc type are also threre.(T cell mature at thymus gland and B cell mature at bone marrow only ,hence named)

now when there is exess (which is abnormal) lyphocyte are produced,condition is known as lymphoma. if in lyphoma ,T cells or B cells are exessively produced -it is known as T CELL LYPHOMA or B CELL LYPHOMA respectivelly.
