Still, if it is in remission, then he's pretty much in the same boat as Guiliani and McCain as cancer survivors.No, he's not, trust me I know. Lymphoma is nasty, nasty stuff. You can get by for a long time, but when it finally breaks loose it is horrid, painful and quick.

Was indolent lymphoma? As I understand it, indolent lymphoma can eventually ‘transform’ to the more aggressive type.

Yes, it can be. But, as I’m here and breathing and cancer-free, I can say, it is treatable.
I was diagnosed with Non-Hodgekins Lymphoma in 1986. I was finally released from the hospital in 1987 after 14 months of treatment.
I’ve not had any recurrances.
