My nephew (26 yo) was diagnosed with hodgkins lymphoma with characteristics of non-hodgkins lymphoma. What is the correct name for this type of lymphoma? Told it is rare and slow growing and is being prescribed reduxin. He has already gone through a years worth of chemotherapy . He new Doctor is at Indiana University Medical. Will the cancer every go completely away or will he have to live with it forever? Will and could he die from this cancer?
Curability of cancer depends on stage of the cancer. In stage, I and II disease curability is around 70 to 80% and in stage IV is around 50%. It is called composite lymphoma, when both are there and treated like non Hodgkin lymphoma
