What are the odds of stems cells curing non-hodgkins lymphoma? - hodgkins lymphoma impotence
My cousin is 40 and a non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The adults in my life, I will not let me and refuse to answer my questions about this kind of things. He went to another city (we live in a rural community) about 5 hours drive for 3 months! What happened and what are the chances he will live out?
And I think those are the lymph nodes in the liver / intestine area.

A stem cell treatment is difficult and dangerous, but if this is the only way to then have to be taken.
I guess that was his cousin's lymphoma are fighting for a while because this kind of treatment is what happens when chemotherapy and radiotherapy had failed and that the disease has never been better, or is there again.
Unfortunately I can not comment on non-Hodgkin's, I know more about lymphoma and the two, although in many respects are very different treatments. What I know about stem cell transplants and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, it is difficult, painful and frightening. His cousin is out for some time because he was in isolation because the process of SCT were) (stem cell transplantation "killed" their immune systems are not yet able to cope with bacteria in the outside world. Even now he has everything at home, should be careful around him and take about 6 months to a year to feel normal and have energy, as it did before. He has lost everything, orf your hair to take very high doses of chemotherapy and has lost much weight.
But the good news is that there is better and will continue to improve with each day. I do not know the chances of cure with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, Hodgkin's, but TBS has a cure rate of about 50-70%, depending on age, health status and stage of lymphoma. So the chances of him leaving the SCT are very good. What I can not answer is, what are the chances that the lymphoma back and I can not answer. It can not, and your parents, not doctors. For now, do not worry, I'm sure that is the hospital staff who had been in the same or very good for him and his family continue to do so when they return home.
Understand that your parents try to protect themselves and are afraid. You do not want to burden with the aim to do it, because it is a very uncertain time for all of you. You can see the operation of the SCT, there is good information there, and I assure him that his cousin has been weakened, butK after SCT. It may be tired and do not want visitors, but it means nothing, again.
I'm sorry that your family goes through it now, I hope I was able to reassure you something. If you need more information or assurances that you can send private messages. The hopes and prayers for you all.
I suspect that by the transplantation of hematopoietic stem cells, which in technical jargon for a bone marrow transplant goes. It is dangerous, but people live through it every day. I had the transplant for a different disease than a year and a half. If it works, is free of the disease.
Try to sit with his parents and explain that although it may perhaps still a child, it is possible. Ask him if he goes through the bone marrow or hematopoietic stem cells.
