It is impossible to say. The best is his lymphoma remained in remission for life and suffered no lasting effects of treatment and can lead a normal life with normal life.

There are about 30 different types of NHL. Different species have very different prognoses. So, to know that the subtype is important to estimate the answer to your question.

The chances of a recurrence of lymphoma decreased significantly after two years, may, after five years of remission, a person cured.

Some problems can relate to the lives of survivors of lymphoma than the potential of cancer, including the side effects of chemotherapy. For example, doxorubicin is often used for the treatment and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and is associated with increased rates of heart problems.

Sorry, I can not give a clearer answer than that. Oncologist, your friend is the best source for an estimate of the long-term prognosis, because he or she knows your case best.
