What I was getting from the reading I was doing was that the median survival rate for DH DBC NHL was less than 2 years, but I also know that people can live much, much longer as well, but she was over 10 years older than you at age of diagnosis as well.

I do think the mental issues are almost half the battle. We were almost ready to give up on her because she wouldn't eat, move, talk, etc. She was just ready to give up, but a few people had a "come to Jesus" talk w/ her and she snapped out of it.

Thanks again!
