OK I just talked to Adam. Poor kid was in the hospital all day.

The preliminary results from the biopsy indicate that it' probably Hodgkins disease. Adam said that this is a best case scenario, as it will probably be 6 months to a year of aggressive chemo.

He will get the full results of the biopsy on Monday so more info will be available then.

I googled Hodgkins disease since I don't know anything about it and this is what it said:

Hodgkin's disease — also known as Hodgkin's lymphoma — is a cancer of the lymphatic system, which is part of your immune system.

In Hodgkin's disease, cells in the lymphatic system grow abnormally and may spread beyond the lymphatic system. As Hodgkin's disease progresses, it compromises your body's ability to fight infection.

Hodgkin's disease is one of two common types of cancers of the lymphatic system. Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, the other type, is far more common. Hodgkin's disease is named after the British physician Thomas Hodgkin, who first described the disease in 1832 and noted characteristics that distinguish it from other lymphomas.

Advances in diagnosis, staging and treatment of Hodgkin's disease have helped to make this once uniformly fatal disease highly treatable with the potential for full recovery.
