I just caught this on the CT news. Supposedly treatable, get well soon
kid!

I think that's just a carefully worded media statement. "Treatable"...
well, most cancers are technically "treatable" in one way or another,
particularly given his age. The question is what stage, grade, etc. and are
the results expected to be favorable or not.

Either way, he's looking at a long, hard road, and I wish him the best.
Cure rates aren't the best for this type of lymphoma, although 5 year
survival rates are pretty good.
