Happy for future patients that progress is being made. My uncle didn't make it...had lymphoma. Immunotherapy works with so many other conditions, especially with autoimmune disorders. Thank you.
I start immunotherapy for hodgkins lymphoma this month, I've gone through radiation which failed. It's so scary when they tell you a treatment didn't work, you feel hopeless, then when I switched oncologist they told me about this treatment I have never heard of, and I felt like it was some dream, a miracle. I'm excited for a treatment I can move on with my life and lead a normal life at the same time!
Lucy Ford. I started my immunotherapy for Hodgkin’s lymphoma as well I had 3 so far and I have one more after that am have my scan , yes you are right it’s very scary and I’ve been through a lot of treatment and nothing worked so far so am hoping this will work as I really have enough , they saying I’ll need stem cell transplant after that ( if it work ) so am waiting to see how it goes . Are you having stem cell transplant as well ?
I had immunotherapy for non Hodgkin Lymphoma. I went into remission after 6 treatments. I had a large mass that was inoperable. Also I had fewer side effects. I am now 6 months into remission.
Would like to see the various drugs named in the video written out somewhere, like across bottom of screen. Names are complex and difficult to get just from him speaking. Patients like me would like to capture those names and do some further research.
