Suggest Treatment For Hodgkins Lymphoma In The Right Groin
Dear Doctor,
My daughter aged 25 years has been detected with hodgkins Lymphoma in the right groin. Her histopathology report concludes lymph node with interfollicular mixed population of cells including Reed-Sternberg cells and lacunar cells.
Diagnosis mentions Right inguinal area:- Lymphoma highly suggestive of Hodgkin's disease.
Comment:-The differential diagnosis include anaplastic lymphoma.
Dear Doctor, would like to know how life threatening is this? What is the course of treatment suggested. How long will the treatment take? Is this fully curable? What could be the side effects of the treatment?
Awaiting your answer.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have hodgkin lymphoma most likely. Othrr possibility is anaplastic lymphoma. Treatment and prognosis depends on type of lymphoma. Hodgkin lymphoma has relatively good prognosis then anaplastic lymphoma. Treatment is chemotherapy. CHOP regimen is most commonly used.
Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
