For stage 3 follicular lymphoma, the five-year survival rate is approximately 89%. While being over 60 years old can affect prognosis somewhat (with studies showing about 85% of people over 60 are alive five years after diagnosis), it's important to note that many people continue to live well for many years while managing their follicular lymphoma with proper medical care and monitoring. Your specific prognosis will depend on several individual factors that your healthcare team will evaluate, including:

• Overall well-being and ability to perform daily activities
• Blood levels of certain markers
• Whether lymphoma cells are located outside the lymphatic system
• Response to treatments

It's best to discuss your individual prognosis with your healthcare team as they can take into account all of your personal health factors.
