Follicular Lymphoma

The militaristic terminology of “fighting a disease” does not sit well with me. After being diagnosed, I wasn’t fighting. I was reacting.

When I started experiencing symptoms of an infection, I was worried that my follicular lymphoma had returned.

Having a check-up appointment without receiving any type of scan is good, but also scares me.

“Everything happens for a reason,” is among some of the unhelpful things you can say to someone with cancer.

The Food and Drug Administration approved Epkinly, a bispecific T-cell engager, for certain patients with follicular lymphoma.

When I came across an article with advice written by an oncologist for patients, I thought about his advice carefully.

As someone with follicular lymphoma, I joined a cancer advocacy group, but it wasn't what I was expecting.

The Food and Drug Administration approved Breyanzi for patients with pretreated, relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma.

When people try to cheer me up when I feel a certain way towards my cancer, it makes me feel like my feelings aren't valid.

I reflected upon my last great trip with my husband and the moment my wait and watch approach ended for my follicular lymphoma.

It was disconcerting to me when my oncologist was unsure about the treatment he was giving me and knew what the next would be without giving the first a chance.

For the Jewish New Year, I had no more signs of lymphoma.

Even the difficult experiences that we share, like the emotional and physical discomfort that comes with a cancer scan, can be a little easier when we know someone else has been through them, too.

Treatment with Brukinsa and Gazyva poses a new option for certain patients with follicular lymphoma, with tolerable side effects, an expert told CURE®.

I've learned that there are many differing perspectives when it comes to treatment for cancer, especially from patients to researchers.

The Food and Drug Administration approved Brukinsa plus Gazyva for patients with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma who have undergone two or more prior lines of therapy.

When I told my friends I started feeling better during cancer treatment, they were all so confused.

Having all of these screenings for cancer terrifies me, even though they could be almost certainly nothing.

Whenever I experience a new ache or patch of itchy skin, I immediately think it's a health issue — or a recurrence.

Researchers reported long-lasting responses and no new safety concerns in patients with relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma during the 2023 ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition.

Please don’t tell me I have the “good” kind of cancer or comment on how much weight I’ve lost.

The Food and Drug Administration will speed up the review of odronextamab for patients with relasped or refractory follicular lymphoma or diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

One patient was able to access a therapy for follicular lymphoma before it was approved by the FDA, which allowed him to help future patients through his experience.

Patients with relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma — a group that traditionally has limited treatment options — now have a new bispecific antibody available.

The combination treatment demonstrated survival and safety results similar to those of chemotherapy for patients with advanced, untreated follicular lymphoma.

The FDA approval of Breyanzi, a novel CAR-T cell therapy, provides many patients with lymphoma a new treatment option that can be used earlier in the course of their disease, according to an expert.

The priority review comes following positive clinical trial results, which may lead to a shift in the treatment paradigm for follicular lymphoma, according to an expert.

Kymriah, a CAR-T cell therapy, was approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of patients with pretreated, relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma.

Treatment with TRPH-222 led to lasting responses in certain patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas, warranting a larger investigation into the drug, according to the researchers.

Kymriah may represent a more effective option than currently available treatments for patients with heavily pretreated follicular lymphoma, according to an expert from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.
