Diagnosed With Hodgkins Lymphoma And Lupus. Hemorrhage In The Brain After Surgery. Future Risks?

My sister was operated yesterday. She was diagnosed with hodgkins lymphoma and lupus. she was really jolly yesterday, until she started feeling major headaches onthe right side. She told my mom she would die and soon after she started having a seizure. she was transferred to the intens care and later had an operation bc she had an hemorrhage. Docs said all went fine, and that she will be sedated for 5 days, can you please tell me if there are any future risks for her? (sorry for bad eng and abrev. Xbox user in Portugal)

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Hodgkin's lymphoma since diagnosed and there are hemorrhage in brain after surgery.
If hemorrhage in brain is minor she will regain consciousness soon,so need not to worry as treatment is continue.
Your query is that , if there is any further risk?
Patients with localized disease are cured more than 95%,so need not to worry.
Treatment after Chemotherapy is radiotherapy and please note one even in relapsed case of Hodgkin's disease cure rare is very high. ( prognosis very good).
Hope I have answered your question.
If any further question I will be happy to help.
Wish you good luck for your sister.
