What are the chances of survival for 3 month old lymphoma?

My friend went to the doctor several times over the last 3 months, and each time the doctor said it was an infection, and prescribed medicine to heal it. But it never healed. So they went to a different doctor and it turns out that it is lymphoma cancer.

He goes into surgery tomorrow. What do you think his chances of survival are, considering he went 3 months without knowing it was cancer?

my husband has been going through treatment for lymphoma for 5 years now…..it took about 8 months beefier they diagnosed him correctly……he has had chemo (loads of it) a stem cell transplant with his own stem cells and a stem cell transplant with his sister’s stem cells…..he is not cancer free, and won’t be, but with these treatments he is able to have a good quality of life and a prolonged life…..if he had not had the last stem cell transplant he would not be here right now. he is very positive and strong……give your friend much strength, support and be there for him/her to “lean on” …i will send out much positive thoughts to you and your friend and i wish for all the very best!!!

What is Lymphoma? Lymphoma is the general term used for a group of cancers that originate in the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is part of the body?s immune system and is responsible for producing, storing and carrying white blood cells that fight infections and other diseases. Lymphoma is caused when cells in the lymphatic system become abnormal by dividing too rapidly or growing without any control or order. The lymphatic system consists of a network of thin tubes that branch into tissues throughout the body. Along this network are tiny organs known as lymph nodes. Because lymphatic tissue is found in many parts of the body, lymphoma can start in a single node or multiple nodes or an organ. Once it has developed, Lymphoma may spread to other parts of the body.
