General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,
If he has lymphoma in his chest then the shortness of breath is probably from some pressure on his heart or lungs. In many cases lymphoma is treatable and curable. It depends upon the type of lymphoma he has and whether or not it has spread to other parts of his body.
