| Measure | Time frame |

| To compare change in QOL before and after starting metronomic chemotherapyTimepoint: 3 months;To compare this new regimen with historical patients treated with existing PEPC (Prednisolone/ Etoposide/ Procarbazine/ Cyclophosphamide ) metronomic regimenTimepoint: 3 months;To evaluate tolerability and drug compliance of Oral metronomic chemotherapy in lymphoma patientsTimepoint: 3 months | — |
