I am a 68 year old man that's been diagnosed with treatable lymphoma. the prescribed treatment is 30 chemo sessions broken down into 5 sessions per week over a 6 week period. is this safe? regards, michael b?

It's certainly much safer than not getting treated, or than not following the prescribed program. This is something to discuss with your doctor -- you don't provide nearly enough information for any distant forum to help. Good luck.

A goals of care discussion with your oncologist going carefully over all the options including dose reductions, postponing or not having treatment with their limitations and expected benefits should take place in the context of the type of lymphoma, other comorbidities, functional status, curative/palliative intent. Never an easy discussion or decision to make.
