Brief Answer:
She will need chemo. It is curable.
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for the query. As per the reports, your sister in law has Hodgkin's lymphoma. It is a type of cancer that involves the immune system. With modern chemotherapy, the disease has a very good
chance of cure. According to the bone marrow report, the disease has not spread to the none marrow, which is a good sign.
Liver involvement however, puts the disease in stage 4. However, Hodgkin's lymphoma carries a good outlook and is treatable. After completion of chemotherapy, ( usually 6 cycles are given), a repeat PET-CT will be done to know the disease status. Usually, the disease goes into remission with chemo.
Best wishes.
