Also detected in the abdomin, throughout lower back (which I was told is also considered abdomin) and right side of neck. This would be considered stage 4, correct?

Non hodgkins lymphoma is stage 4 when it is found on both sides of the diaphragm.
I have given loads of chemotx to a lot of people with non hodgkins lymphoma. Being in the bone marrow is not a good sign, but I believe all things are possible and I believe in miracles.
I honestly don't think you can give a time frame on the disease. A lot depends on how old, and how healthy the person is with the disease. The goal is to get the disease into remission, not cure.

I had Hodgkin's stage two. But from what I've learned from other lymphoma survivors, it sounds to me like a stem cell transplant might be the way to go. (I've had one myself because my cancer was pretty aggressive)
Typically, a patient will be given regular chemotherapy to try to put them into remission. Since the cancer is in the bone marrow, it is likely the person would need a stem cell/bone marrow donor. The transplant allows high doses of chemotherpay to be given to the patient, typically killing off any cancer cells that are still in the blood. It is also strong enough to kill off all of the bone marrow and immune system. It's a rough process, I was in the hospital for a month, but I was my own donor (I was in remission before I donated my cells and never had bone marrow activity). It's typically longer when a person is receiving another person's marrow or stem cells.
Luckily, lymphomas are still treatable and now that these transplants are becoming much more main stream, people are living much longer lives.

I'm an organ donor. However, I've certainly not been ready to provide blood, as I do not meet the load standards. Also, I might obviously provide bone marrow or blood (if I can/might) if a household member, buddy..heck even stranger...wanted me too. My husband has truthfully donated plasma earlier than, simply considering. He has a loopy scar from it considering that he went for a couple of months a pair years in the past going two occasions per week. I consistently say he appears like a junkie...LOL

My husband has sincerely donated plasma before, just due to the fact. He has a loopy scar from it due to the fact that he went for a number of months a pair years in the past going 2 occasions a week. I perpetually say he looks like a junkie...LOL

A Bone-Marrow transplant can sometimes cure the disease. Lots of chemo and radiation will definitely slow down the progress. Good luck - I am a cancer survivor

Yes your correct it is stage 4, and it's a long-term stable disease.
People usually survive this disease.
