My Lymphoma Diagnosis – Robyn | Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma | The Patient Story [Video]

As a doctor herself, Robyn found a swollen lymph node in her neck. She knew it had to be lymphoma. Scans revealed Robyn had diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, an aggressive form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma that affects B-cells (a type of white blood cell).

Four years after going through R-CHOP chemotherapy, she relapsed and went through more chemotherapy, a stem cell transplant, and radiation. She relapsed a second time only 9 months after therapy. This time, she joined a clinical trial for CAR T-cell therapy.
