Lymphomas: High grade lymphomas in general have better chance of cure than low grade. But it depends on lot of other factors also.

What location?: It depends on 1. What subtype of nhl it was 2. What organs were involved? 3. What is the stage 4. Does he have "b symptoms" (fevers, weight loss) 5. What his bloodwork shows and 6. If it involves areas other than the lymph nodes (ie other organs such as the skin, lungs, etc.) these are all needed to give a prognosis score and chance of cure.
