What Is The Treatment For Lymphoma Disease?

I was just diagnosed with lymphoma, I have a biopsy tomorrow to find out more. I just got a call from the Doc saying all my blood tests were normal, hemoglobin ext. Is that a good sign that it might be HL instead of NHL?. I am 30 years old and 125lbs and am 5'7"

Welcome to H.C.M. I am Dr Krishna Dubey.
My pleasure to help you.

1)First wait for biopsy result because its report will decide that HL or NHL.
After biopsy , your doctor may advise marker for confirmation.

2)Hodgkins disease slowly spreads to adjacent lymph nodes, and rarely metastasizes to distant sites.

Most types of Hodgkins disease are also very responsive to chemotherapy and radiation therapy.

3) The prognosis and classification of the various NHLs is a very complex and controversial subject. (It relies on morphological, cytological, immunological, and genetic markers.)
In general, treatment of these lymphomas does not show the good success.

All the best.
Thanx.
