My friend was diagnosed with stage 4 Beurkette's lymphoma (I don't know much more about it, we were mostly physical friends) but I know he went with chemotherapy. He began it in february and he only has 2 doses left. He had increasing, then decreasing, side effects from it, but it seems to have done a good job. From what he tells me he is almost cured, although we don't talk about it much. His symptoms from it were a lot of nausea and vomiting, especially right after a treatment, and weakness.
With any transplant there is a chance of rejection which can be serious, and also she will probably be on immunosuppresents for a long time, which suck (i have an auto immune disease, not nearly as bad as cancer, but I have some experience with immunosuppresents)
What i can tell you is that if your sister hasn't already needed to start treatment, her cancer isn't very far advanced. My friend started his less than a month after he was diagnosed, and his uncle, who did die from another, mroe seirous form of lymphoma, started his treatment, also chemo, 2 days after he was diagnosed.
Good luck to her!
