Does she have any chance on living a healthy, normal life?


My best friend is 15 years old. Female.

Two days ago, she was diagnosed with a stage 4 Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. She has an indolent type. She starts treatment soon, not exactly sure when.

She’s devistated and is sure that she’s going to die. I cried for her..I want her to live a normal, healthy life as a teenager.

Does she have any chance of living a full life and getting through this? If so, what are the chances?

Your friend has a serious diagnosis, but treatment is available. Best wishes for a good long term outcome.

Attached below is the Merck Manual chapter on NHL including diagnostic, treatment, and prognosis information.
