It takes time for the chemo to work. But you have not mentioned what lymphoma it is. lymphomas usually respond fast but aggressive types also recur fast. In cases of recurrence, chemo is unlikely to respond quickly. All treatment is by a protocol. let them complete the protocol and then reevaluate.
