What Is Non-hodgkins Lymphoma?

My boyfriend was diagnosed with nonhodgkin s lymphoma a year and a half ago. He s been taking chemo every since and I believe is all taking steroids. I noticed his face get swollen after starting these drugs. I was just wondering if these drugs could be causing the swelling and if the swelling will go away once he gets off of them.
