Doctor: HelloAs per the details that you have provided it seems he has NHL but stage requires a bone marrow report and also abdominal imaging ie.e is there disease below the diaphragmHe requires chemotherapy and overall amongst the cancers diagnosed and treated  chemotherapy has a potential to cure NHLs and the patients genrally tend to do well but further details are required in your case as i already mentioned so also LDH levels and endoscopy reports,do forward the same ,take cared
