I am in the same boat as far as I'm going to get a stem cell transplant and my cancer isn't in my bones. but non hodgkins hides it looks as if the cancer is gone then it pops up again. then all the chemo is for nothing.do the transplant so it has a good chance of remission otherwise this is all for nothing becuase you no she won't want to do chemo again.
