My dad was diagnosed with Burkitt's Lymphoma in December. It's a rare type of lymphoma that is generally found in African children. Only 2% of American adults are diagnosed with this, supposedly. Why my dad? He's hanging in there, receiving treatments, but the cure rate is pretty much 0%, so we are not too hopeful. We are praying for remission, but don't know how many more chemo treatments he can handle. Just wondering if anyone has any knowledge of this specific type. We'll take any help we can get. Thank you!
