Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Ideally, a non-Hodgkin lymphoma patient will see a hematologist/oncologist who is experienced in the this treatment. Your physician should be able to give you guidance and refer you. Have you spoken to your doctor about who he or she would recommend?

The doctor is telling you to choose yourself, only saying that you will need chemotherapy, but the doctor has not clearly said that chemotherapy will be given by an oncologist or a hematologist. I'm confused who would be better? Or what will be the next treatment?
