Hi robinwilliams31

Sorry to hear about your sister. To answer your question, yes hodgkins can be cured, in fact the cure rate is amongst the highest of all cancers. To answer any more questions we would need to know what type of Hodgkins she has, what stage it is and what age your sister is. Also it would be good if you post back with the results of the biopsy once it is done. Don't panic as i said HL can be cured.

get back to us with the info and we may be able to help some more, we are always here

Smile
