And regardless of the believe that a good monitor the situation and feel free to speak closely related, but do not use too many professional terms because not be able that I will they remember.

Thank in advance all those who think to give answers, and on the other side of my opinion about the treatment is based on faith and God, but parents do not think so, and from this reason, we need more professional opinion that they understood.

Today, doctors say that cancer is metastasize, and parents is complete in the chaos, sad, madness and pain.

Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is a type of cancer that originates from the lymph cells. The lymph cells are found mainly in the lymph nodes and other lymphoid tissues. Once the cancer is developed it might be easily spread with the blood because the lymph nodes act as local blood purifiers and a lot of blood passes through them.
The subtype of the Non-Hodgkin lymphoma might have been helpful about the treatment and the prognosis.
There are about 30 different subtypes of Non-Hodgkin lymphoma depending on the classification that is used. They all vary in their treatment, progression speed and prognosis.
You might ask the doctors what the exact subtype is and then perhaps search for the possible treatment and prognosis.
