Has anyone had a friend or family member w/ Double-Hit Diffuse Large B-Cell, Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma?

My mother (78) was just diagnosed w/ that after over a month of tests, biopsies, scans, etc and is now starting chemo and some other treatments. I have been trying to figure out what the prognosis is and and what the timeline might look like, but it all seems very confusing to me.

I know it is a very aggressive form of cancer, however I don't seem to be able to get my mind around what we are in for with this. Can any of you share your experience going through this w/ someone? Thanks in advance!
