Not effective in what way? Symptoms were not improved or size of the lymph node was not regressed? With correct treatment, the disease will be cured. It means you will get improvement clinically in the form of increased appetite, weight gain, no fever etc. But the size of lymph node can remain as such in some cases. It doesn't necessarily indicate an active disease or treatment failure.
