We just found out my brother has lymphoma. He has a lump under is right arm. We are not sure what stage he is in yet, he goes for a PET scan on Saturday.

Any help you can give us on where to get more treatment info, survival rates and any personal stories of hope would be appreciated.

Hello,
Sorry no one has answered your post but the reason no one has replied is because you don't have enough information. There are at least 58 dlfferent types of Non-Hodgkins and 5 different kinds of Hodgkins Lymphoma. Plus there are stages 1 thru 4 a/b of HL and I'm not sure on
the stages of Non-HL. When you have more info we'll try to help you with answers but be assured that this type of cancer is treatable and has a high cure rate. Hope this helps.

Hi, ive had N.H.L. on and off for 23yrs and through most of those years ive tried to lead a normal as possible life,ive worked, ive been succesfull as a musician and had 3 kids the experts said id never have.
Just remember the so called experts dont know everything cause everybody is different, some fight like hell while others wither.
So i suppose what im trying to say is there is allways hope, i wish you all well cause i know what your going through right now.
Jim.
