Which one of Afa's children died? According to Google, he has 4 daughters and 3 sons. All of his sons are known to have had health issues but are still alive.

Afa's health issues are known because his children keep us updated, whereas Sika's cause of death wasn't even disclosed.

Not much of a difference for people his age. ALL is a disease most commonly seen in 2 to 3-year-olds, of course the survival rate will look much better.

Age is more important, younger people have much better outcomes @ stage 4 than elderly people @ stage 2. The overall survival rate for stage 2 is 94.3%, at his age his chances of dying are almost non-existent. Hodgkin Lymphoma — Cancer Stat Facts

Lymphoma is typically diagnosed at an advanced stage but it's known to be a curable/treatable form of cancer. People's perception of cancer is usually based on the knowledge of solid tumour carcinoma. Lymphoma is a blood cancer and the different types are key. The type he has is the most common one, it's aggressive but quite curable. Indolent lymphoma is more survivable with a 90% 5-year survival rate at stage 4, but it's generally considered incurable w/o allo-HSCT (the type of transplant most often used in high-risk blood cancers such as adult acute leukaemia) .

Staging is not that important for lymphoma (unlike solid tumours), other factors such as age can be more important. The 10 year survival rate of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) for a person under 50 is about 80%.
