Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query on HealthcareMagic.
Relapse of Non-Hodgkin lymphoma should be investigated promptly and treatment should be started as soon as possible since the risk of up staging of the disease is there.
What was the site of NHL?
This is because further investigations will depend on the site of involvement.
In case your appointment is late, you can consult some other hematologist or oncologist if it is possible.
