The duration of treatment varies, depending on the exact type of lymphoma, as well as the stage at the time of diagnosis. At your daughter's age, the most common type of lymphoma is Hodgkin lymphoma, and the treatment may last anywhere between 3-6 months.
There are standard treatment regimens for pediatric lymphoma and you should discuss the regimen and the length of it with the treating medical oncologist.
