It depends on the maturity of the disease. It could be gone within a few months or it could last another few years. Non-Hodgkin's is treatable if detected early and treatment started immediately, but over the period, the treatment is less likely to be beneficial.
It is difficult to convince him, especially because he lived for 5 years even without treatment. It just means that the lymphoma is indolent. But if the tumor is too big and make things difficult for him to have evolved in an aggressive manner. Unfortunately, we can predict death. But it will come faster if it relates to critical structures such as blood vessels and airways. You can choose for radiation therapy, if you do not want chemotherapy. Why do they refuse, anyway? It is curable.
