My father was diagnosed with non-hodgkins lymphoma in 1993. They took quite a long time to find it out and he was very ill by the time the diagnosis came through.
He had an operation and then intensive chemo. The chemo was bad but it worked (knock on wood).
He is still alive today. Not the strongest of men as he never put back all the weight and muscle degeneration after the chemo. (He's a coeliac, which doesn't help and coeliac syndrome is suspected to be related to non-hodgkins lymphoma sometimes).
I worry every time I see him that it'll come back, but it's been 17 years now, so...
Anyway, good luck man.
The chemo is hard, but it does beat it in many cases.
