My SIL Was Recently Diagnosed With Stage 4 CHL. He Is Only 34 And He And My Daughter Have A 2 Year Old And A 3month Old

I guess my question is about his blood. He has had 1 and 1/2 chemo treatments and he is going in for blood tests M, W, F to check his red and white cell counts and get transfusions if needed. So far he needs 2 pints of blood every other day.
Iā€™m just so worried and overwhelmed- is this normal?
His cancer is in lymph nodes in chest, spleen and liver are 3 times regular size and pet scan showed a few spots on his bones.

My NHL was stage three of four when discovered. I had no signs of it except an enlarged lymph node on my neck. It responded very well to the chemo but chemo is very hard on your body. I finished My six rounds of chemo in November, and my blood counts are normal now, but I have several weird things going on in my body. I hope his blood counts get better. He needs to talk to his doctor about this.
