What Is The Life Expectancy After Being Treated For Lymphoma?
My wife was treated successfully for lymphoma with chemotherapy and her last treatment was 4 years ago. She is currently 64. We are trying to plan for long-term care insurance and other later-in-life events and wonder if her life expectancy will be lower than if she had not had lymphoma and undergone chemotherapy. There must be averages out there but I can t find them

Hi,
Thank you for using health care magic.
40 to 60 percent patients with lymphoma get a life span of 5 years after undergoing treatment. Lymphoma cancer expectancy has successfully increased during this modern era of medical science.
