A member asked:
Can you tell me what occurs in stage 2 and stage 3 of lymphoma to a person who refuses treatment?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on type: Essentially three types of lymphomas. High grade, intermediate grade and low grade. If high grade needs treatment emergently and if not treated, will progress rapidly and the patient will develop severe problems. Intermediate grade needs treatment on an urgent basis. Low grade may never need treatment. High grade and intermediate grade curable. Low grade not curable. Hope this helps.
