We have recently revised our pages on follow-up after lymphoma treatment and supported self-management after lymphoma treatment

Follow-up after lymphoma treatment is to help support long-term health and recovery. This updated information explains:
- what follow-up is
- what a treatment summary is
- the schedule for follow-up appointments
- preparing for follow-up appointments and tips if you feel anxious before the appointment
- what happens at follow-up appointments
- managing any late effects of treatment
- how long follow-up goes on for. 

Supported self-management is an approach to follow-up after lymphoma treatment that some hospitals offer. Self-management can include remote monitoring and patient-triggered follow-up.
