How long would treatment last? And when he does beat it, is it the kind of thing you can come back from, or is he likely done on the football feild?

Depends on the type of Lymphoma. He may be done if it's the hard to treat kind and could even lose his life but if it's the treatable kind he has a good chance of returning.
Also, since pro-athletes have health checks all the time, it's very possible that even if it's the worst/hardest to treat version that he can beat it. But man, it's HARD either way.

Wow very upsetting to hear. They say cancer plays no favorites but it damn sure seems to favor the best people

Damn that's scary stuff. Hopefully treatable and non life threatening

I have had Lymphoma twice in the last 4 years. Stage IV Diffuse Large B Cell type to be exact. To go from undetectable to a significant enough mass in 5 months to cause pain and discomfort kind of indicates that it is aggressive in nature. Mine was very aggressive and that is a good thing as long as he has an otherwise strong immune system. The aggressive, fast growing Lymphomas are actually curable whereas the small cell follicular types are chronic and not curable. Dr. Flowers was not my main Dr. (I had Dr. Langston) but he did assist in my treatment at Emory. Eric will be under great care at Winship and I know he will pull through.

Good to hear - both for you and him. I hope and pray you're right. And congrats on beating cancer's arse.

I had Non- Hodgkin's Lymphoma doe to exposure to Agent Orange, doing very well and hope he recovers and lives a long life.

Just awful, I blame the Chefs organization, they are the most snake bitten team I've ever seen in my life, all their players either bust out or die in tragic fashion.

Horrible. Best wishes to a great player.

Chicago Cubs starting 1st baseman had lymphoma earlier in his life and recovered 100%.
