Information for the public

After your treatment

At the end of your treatment you should be given a written summary. It should say which type of non‑Hodgkin lymphoma you had, the tests and treatments you had and whether you may get ongoing side effects or late effects of treatment. Your care team should talk to you about your summary when they give it to you, and send a copy to your GP.

Your care team should give you information about how to spot signs that might suggest your lymphoma is coming back or you have late effects of treatment.

At 3 years after your treatment has finished you may be able to go back to the care of your GP or practice nurse for monitoring of late effects of treatment.

Questions you could ask your care team

  • What should I do if I'm worried that my lymphoma might be coming back?

  • What are late effects of treatment? What should I look out for?

  • What will happen at my follow‑up appointments?

  • Where will they be, and how often? Who will I see?
