It really depends on the type and stage of her lymphoma!. There are ,many types, one specific type is Hodgkin's, and all others are non Hodgkin's!. Most lymphomas re very treatable!. Depending on the type and stage, with some forms of lymphoma the patient goes on "watch and wait" and it can be years before they every receive treatment!.
Chemo is different for every one, and they use different combinations for different types of cancer and the stage that it is in!. Her hair will probably fall out, but it will grow back after!. She may be sick from it, or may be like some and only be very tired after and sleep for a couple days and then feel ok until the next round!.
Just know that some types of lymphoma are very treatable, with very high survival rates!.

Ok so my dad just finshed treatment with lymphoma!.
unfortuanatly she will lose her hair with chemo!.
There is tons of research being done about it and treatment is pretty easy
she will be tired and need rest!.
After a couple months of chemo it will probably be gone
however the condition my dad had will for sure come back so it is only a matter of time until it comes back but it could be anywhere from a year to 20!.
dont worry to much it seems bad but its just something your going to have to work through!.
