If lymphoma returns after treatment, you may receive stem cell transplantation. A transplant of blood- forming stem cells allows you to receive high doses of chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or both. The high doses destroy both lymphoma cells and healthy blood cells in your bone marrow. Stem cell transplants take place in the hospital. After you receive high-dose treatment, healthy blood- forming stem cells are given to you through a flexible tube placed in a large vein in your neck or chest area. New blood cells develop from the transplanted stem cells
