Vietvet pt on 3rd chemo tx for n-hl (agent orange).also advanced hip bone damage. replacement planned aft yr. fears it may cause n-hl relapse. can it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: If your nhl is under control for a couple of years, it is unlikely to relapse. Surgery like you are palnning does not cause relapse of cancer. So i would not worry about having your hip replaced.
