My brother has been diagnosed with lymphoma/Hodgkinsons - and he did have glandular fever almost 4 years ago. He saw his GP twice about a lump at the back of his neck almost 6 months ago and they didnt do a bipopsy just a blood test and gave him medication for an ear disorder.  He is only 25 and awaiting a full diagnosis of the stage and type of cancer he has but were trying to move him to Royal Marsden which is near our home as he is alone in Scotland and family need to be with him- but the hospital is not supporting us and now he is still not had a complete prognosis or any kind of treatment.  What are his survival chances and how can we move him urgently and start the treatment?  Anything will be very helpful tight now
Hello....for Hodgkin lymphoma prognosis is good.he will respond well to chemotherapy(cancer Chat Doctor.  However first the diagnosis should be confirmed early. To start with you should get an FNA done (fine needle aspiration cytology). If it is suggestive of HL, then you need to undergo excisional biopsy of the lymph node. If this turns out positive, immediately take him to cancer institute where chemotherapy can be started. He will also have to undergo USG ABDOMEN LOOK FOR axillary and inguinal lymph node enlargement to assess the extent of disease.don't worry... it has good prognosis.
