If diagnosed with non-hotchkins lymphoma, detected in bone marrow, is it a short life span?


Question:
Also detected in the abdomin, throughout lower back (which I was told is also considered abdomin) and right side of neck. This would be considered stage 4, correct?

Answers:
Non hodgkins lymphoma is stage 4 when it is found on both sides of the diaphragm.
I have given loads of chemotx to a lot of people with non hodgkins lymphoma. Being in the bone marrow is not a good sign, but I believe all things are possible and I believe in miracles.
I honestly don't think you can give a time frame on the disease. A lot depends on how old, and how healthy the person is with the disease. The goal is to get the disease into remission, not cure.

i don't know, i might have it

A Bone-Marrow transplant can sometimes cure the disease. Lots of chemo and radiation will definitely slow down the progress. Good luck - I am a cancer survivor Yes your correct it is stage 4, and it's a long-term stable disease.
People usually survive this disease.

These are qualified experts who have healed or subdued even end-stage diseases. I had Hodgkin's stage two. But from what I've learned from other lymphoma survivors, it sounds to me like a stem cell transplant might be the way to go. (I've had one myself because my cancer was pretty aggressive)

Typically, a patient will be given regular chemotherapy to try to put them into remission. Since the cancer is in the bone marrow, it is likely the person would need a stem cell/bone marrow donor. The transplant allows high doses of chemotherpay to be given to the patient, typically killing off any cancer cells that are still in the blood. It is also strong enough to kill off all of the bone marrow and immune system. It's a rough process, I was in the hospital for a month, but I was my own donor (I was in remission before I donated my cells and never had bone marrow activity). It's typically longer when a person is receiving another person's marrow or stem cells.

Luckily, lymphomas are still treatable and now that these transplants are becoming much more main stream, people are living much longer lives. Hi,

Sorry for the diag - but there is hope.

You can get a lot of information on all types of treatments and outlook and find a local support group from leukemia and lymphoma org.

they helped me a lot ,

good luck
