13. Non-Hodkgins

Non-Hodgkin's.

It was diagnosed as an indolent lymphoma called follicular lymphoma in 1990.

It came back in more aggressive lymphoma in 2002 and 2019 as diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).

I learned that trying to use a therapy that worked in the past sometimes does not work.

When it returned in 2019, I tried 4 therapies over 2 years; they all failed.

The fifth treatment worked; it was a new treatment that had only been approved by the FDA the year before.

ACA helped save my life with its rule of no more lifetime limits.

So, you are right there are amazing new treatments.

But am concerned with Trump cancelling cancer research.

Thanks for asking. Hope you have the best of health.
