The purpose of you having treatment for lymphoma may be different to someone else having treatment.
For some, there is an expectation that the treatment will cure you from the lymphoma. For others, the aim may be to put you into remission, while for others it may be to decrease the amount of lymphoma in your body to improve your symptoms.
The aim for your treatment will depend on several factors including your subtype of lymphoma, your age and overall health, how many times you have had treatment for lymphoma in the past.
If you donβt know the aim of your treatment, make sure you ask your haematologist or oncologist.
