Basically there are two types of lymphomas: “ Hodgkins Lymphoma and non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. This lymphoma is named after Dr. Thomas Hodgkin, who first recognized it in 1832. In Hodgkins Lymphoma, the lymphatic tissue contains specific cells called as Reed-Sternberg cells. It begin in lymphatic tissues and are more likely to spread areas beyond the lymph nodes.

Just want to express my thoughts and views.
Do most people following the traditional treatment for Hodgkin’s Lymphoma reach remission within a year?
From what I understand, it’s the cancer people recover from the fastest, especially if they’re young, correct? My best friend was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in July and began treatment for it in August, but we don’t really talk about it that much so I don’t know what all is going on. I do know that she was staged at 2 with “B” symptoms. She’s taking chemo with a pill mainly but I have no idea what it’s called and she goes into the hospital like every few weeks. She said she would be in remission by Christmas or next summer by the latest and would start college next fall without a problem, and it would all be over it. Idk if she’s just being like overly optimistic, or is that right? She seems to be doing okay, she’s just skinny and tired more, but can still dance and do other things so I don’t think she’s that sick. idk. I started college so I don’t see her everyday anymore.
So what’s the normal time period it takes somebody who is 17 and has this kind of cancer to get to remission? She had resisted treatment for a while but now she’s doing exactly what the doctors want her to do I think, and the delay didn’t make the staging or whatever worse. She’s a vegan and health nut and really athletic so I would think that would help her odds. And before this she was healthy, she just had mono when she was younger. So is it realistic to think she’ll be cancer free as early as Christmas?
Answer
No. There is no cure for cancer, there is only treatment that may lead to an individual remission or eventual ‘cure’. Your friend has a life threatening disease which is being treated successfully so far . . and that is as far into the future as you can go . . just one day at a time. Cancer is deadly. cruel and time related treatment is critical . .as long as she remains relatively healthy and continues treatment and responds well she may reach remission . . or she may not. No one knows at this point. Being vegan, a health nut, or athletic is irrelevant. So while it may be ‘hopeful that she will be ‘cancer free’ at Christmas . . it is not guaranteed.
