Do you mean "Hodgkin’s lymphoma"?
Hodgkin lymphoma is a localized or disseminated malignant proliferation of cells of the lymphoreticular system, primarily involving lymph node tissue, spleen, liver, and bone marrow. Symptoms include painless lymphadenopathy, sometimes with fever, night sweats, unintentional weight loss, pruritus, splenomegaly, and hepatomegaly. Diagnosis is based on lymph node biopsy. Treatment is curative in about 75% of cases and consists of chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy.
Please see the web pages for more details on Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Hodgkin's lymphoma generally has a favorable prognosis, especially when discovered in the early stage. But for treatment specifics, you need consult a qualified oncologist.
