I know this posting is from 2009 but....I will comment just the same.
So sorry to hear that your niece was diagnosed with NHL as such a young age. I hope she is doing better after 2 years.
So many times people state that they have been diagnosed with NHL or Lymphoma. But at this time there are 63 subcategories/type of NHL. I think it is difficult to give answers to your questions without knowing the subcategory/type of NHL-Follicular? Diffuse Large B-cell? Burkitt's etc? In addition, I think it would be also misleading to give an answer to your questions without knowing what type of NHL and what medications were used to treat her ie., Rituxan, R-Chop, CVP, etc etc.
LLS.org and The Lymphoma Research Foundation are great resources too. In the two years that you wrote there have been advances in treatments so things could have changed already for your niece. My hope and prayers are for her long healthy life.
