Hi, my brotherinlaw has recently been diagnosed with Non Hodkins Disease. He is just 56 yrs old, has had severe Psorisis on parts of his body for many years now. Generally, he has always had good health, normal weight, non-smoker, only social drinker. Will this NHD ever been cured, and does it shorten ones life?
HelloNon-Hodgkins Disease is not a single disease, but it is a group of disease and divided into many categories so also its prognosis. Classification depends upon its, Morphology, clinical, immunologic, genetic information, Pathological information. Further its classification also depends on presence of T cells and B cells. So at this point it is very difficult to say about the prognosis (whether it shorten the life or not) . Either upload complete report or consult an ONCOLOGIST and get his opinion about patient. Good luck.
