People can live for a long time with lymphoma, depending how aggressive their disease is. It's not really "curable", I don't think, but think of it more like a chronic disease. However, if it's extremely aggressive and resistent to treatment, it can be fatal quickly.
Treatment is chemotherapy, usually once every three weeks for 6 cycles, then sometimes maintenance therapy.
Good luck to your friend.

Why - Are you wondering whether to return that novel you bought for a birthday present ?
