Non-Hodgkin lymphoma checkups

The doctor will ask you to attend hospital at regular intervals during and after your treatment for non-Hodgkin lymphoma. You will be given a clinic appointment, and these will probably become less frequent as time passes.

At each checkup your doctor will examine you. Blood tests, X-rays or scans may be repeated to check your recovery and make sure the cancer hasn't returned.

If you are worried about anything between your appointments, for example any unexplained aches or pains, please contact your hospital doctor. Your family doctor will also have been sent details of your treatment and progress.

It's important that you discuss anything unusual and don't worry needlessly. Please use your clinic appointment to discuss any concerns you may have about your recovery and return to your usual lifestyle.
