Nice reply, norseman44, and thanks for contributing so quickly.

Pual, please see:

"...What is the prognosis for cutaneous T-cell lymphoma?
How long someone lives varies with the type of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma they have, the stage of the cancer, the person’s age, and their overall health.

For most patients, the prognosis is good. This is especially true when the disease is found early and treated. With ongoing care, many people live for decades after their diagnosis..."

This is approximately halfway down the following page:

I urge you to be optimistic, not fatalistic, and to await further pinpointing of the type. Please try not to fret, as numbing as such a diagnosis must surely be.

I will certainly try. I know we caught this early and that’s a positive thing. When I hear “cancer” it’s just frightening. If treatment works and it goes into remission , does that mean it will just come back somewhere else?
