I've known people with Hodgkin's Lymphoma. While it may go into remission for years, it is almost always fatal.

Damn that sucks.  Dexter is one of the few TV shows to truly capture my attention lately.  I hope he can beat this.

My best friend growing up had it occur twice when he was young.  He has been in remission for about 25 years now.
