MedlinePlus is a good site to go to to find information about this type of cancer, views, diagnosis, treatments, issues, research, organizations, and latest news:

You don't mention your cousins boyfriends age, but that is a factor in the type of treatment, hospital, and type of oncologist he would be seeing.

a type of cancer characterized by progressive chronic inflammation and enlargement of the lymph nodes of the neck, armpit, groin, and mesentery, by enlargement of the spleen and occasionally of the liver and the kidneys, and by lymphoid infiltration along the blood vessels.
