Dad just diagnosed with Lymphoma

Hi my 82 year old Dad has recently been diagnosed with Lymphoma and I am devastated, I'm not sure where he stands with treatment and if there is any hope.

 

Dad is weak and suffering terrible fatigue, he has lost a stone in weight. I am so scared but I know I have to be strong for dad, I wish there was something that could make him feel better.
