Does he have Hodgkins or non-Hodgekins lymphoma? I thought I heard he had Hodgkins, but I can't be sure. Stage four is the most advanced but there is some hope he can beat it.

He'll beat it. After all, he is a Buffalo Bill.

I don't know, honestly.

I was Dx with Hodgkins at age 9 (1970)

original Dx was stage II

was upgraded to stage IV when I

contracted pneumonia and then didn't

know what was going on...

 

That was after the 2nd round of chemo and

radiation I had at Roswell in Buffalo...

 

Joe should make a full recovery since

original Dx usually are not set in stone

until more tests are done

 

just my $.02

my brother died of aniplastic large-cell lymphoma (nonhodgkins) at age 26. His cancer had progressed to stage III (both above and below diaphram and bone involement).

 

I hope he beats it - but you have to be more than tough - you have to be lucky.

If it's Hodgkins then there is a very good chance he'll beat it even at a Stage IV. My wife was diagnosed with Stage II Hodgkins this January and is already in remission as of this past week. If it's non-Hodgkins, then things could be dicier.
