Follow-up care

People who have had non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma should have regular follow-up examinations after their treatment is over. Follow-up care is an important part of the overall treatment plan, and people should not hesitate to discuss it with their health care provider. Regular follow-up care ensures that patients are carefully monitored, any changes in health are discussed, and new or recurrent cancer can be detected and treated as soon as possible. Between follow-up appointments, people who have had non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma should report any health problems as soon as they appear.
