in Lymphoma (Hodgkin and Non-Hodgkin) #1
My friend was just diagnosed about a month ago. She started chemo about two weeks ago. I was just wondering if anyone had any information about how things (like prognosis) may be different considering she is a 16 year old female. Thanks everyone

    Hi KatriRee,
    I'm sorry your friend is going through this. I do believe her age will be a huge help. Here is a very good link on CNS with a lot of useful information which is up to date..Sept 2011. Getting current information can be tough, but this link covers about everything there is to know about your friends type of cancer. I hope it helps. Best wishes...Sue (FNHL-2-3A-6/10)
