What Are The Treatments For Lymphatic Cancer And What Could Be The Life Span Of The Person?
If you find out you have lymphatic cancer what treatments are available and what's the average a person can live once diagnosed with this? It's already affecting my brother's spleen and he has a swelled lymph gland under his right arm. He said his joints are hurting him. He's already lost 40 lbs. but hasn't started any treatment other than some iron treatments the doctor is administering through an IV.
