A member asked:

Non-hodgkin lymphoma life expectancy after diagnosis? how bad of a cancer is it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends.: Life expectancy after diagnosis is dependent upon stage of disease among other things. The earlier the stage the better the prognosis and the longer we expect someone to remain in remission and the longer we expect them to survive.
