General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.

I am sorry for such serious diagnosis but lymphoma is beter option than some other malignant tumors and it has better prognosis than glioblastoma for example so everthing depends on how she will response on chemotherapy. So it is not possible to prognose survival until this is seen.

I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
