A member asked:
How long can a person with hodgkin's keep living normally untreated before they become really sick? can they be well 3 years later without treatment?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Wow: Good question. Patients with certain kinds of non-hodkin's can do well for over a decade with no therapy but i'm not sure the same is true for hd. Why would someone not want to be treated for a very curable illness?
