ARTICLES

Imagine your body's defense system, the lymphatic system, suddenly turning against you. This is the reality for those facing lymphoma, a cancer of the immune system's crucial network. This article delves into the complexities of lymphoma, exploring its various forms, from the aggressive to the indolent, and examining the latest breakthroughs in treatment, including the groundbreaking POLARIX trial and cutting-edge therapies for relapsed cases. Whether you're a patient, a loved one, or simply curious about this complex disease, this comprehensive overview will provide valuable insights into the current state of lymphoma care and the promising future of research.

Advance directives are a powerful way to take control of healthcare choices. These documents allow you to outline preferences for medical care and specify end-of-life wishes. These documents can also be a way to appoint loved ones who you would like to help with these decisions, such as a healthcare proxy (someone to make decisions on your behalf, if you cannot). As cancer treatments can involve aggressive treatments and/or complex medical management, having advance directives ensures that your desires regarding treatment options and end-of-life care are clearly communicated.

Tell your story and help us help others! Apply online now for this paid opportunity. This program gives a voice to those who have experience in participating in a clinical trial for a cancer diagnosis. Your voice helps to educate and advocate for others who are in or who may be considering a clinical trial. We want to hear from you!

Questions about my mom's PET CT

My mom had her PET CT done after an xray and two CT's had seen a suspicious nodule which then became two nodules (only one suspicious). Here are the findings. We see the oncologist on the 1st but my fear is this had spread to hear brain and I dint know if they checked or not. She's been complaining of severe headaches for months now and the eye doctor said it's not because if her glaucoma. Can you please help me make sense if this report before we go in so I'm prepared and can be of better support for my mom and know what questions to ask. I've included the whole report.
