TcellNHL: The cure is dependent on sub t cell types, stage of disease, age of patient, lymphoma in node or organ, person's ability to do activity of daily living and ldh level. The doctor needs to know these things. Your father's hematologist/oncologist must have them and would be in a better position to answer. Thanks.

Find out more: The treatment and prognosis depend on further subtyping of the cancer. He may do well and i hope you will join him in taking a proactive approach to his care. The key will be educating yourself and contacting healthtap is a good start. You must learn the exact type of tumor, since this could be any of several entities that all behave differently.
