I had non hodgkins lymphoma. I was diagnosed on december 2013 and had undergone chemotherapy till may 2014. I am no longer under any medication. Can I now undergo laser underarm hair removal treatement ? Is it safe ?

There is no problem with getting LHR after getting chemo. You can get it while undergoing chemo as well as long as the drugs don't cause skin hypersensitivity to the laser which some drugs do, like tetracycline.
