Hello
It seems from the history that a known person to you a 21 year old female is diagnosed with orbital lymphoma.
Orbital lymphoma is a malignant condition and if diagnosed early and treated properly the prognosis is relatively good. The treatment of choice for orbital lymphoma is radiation. Since she is receiving the treatment, let her continue it and follow the advice of the treating doctor, no need to worry.
Thank you
