My wife has also struggled with lymphoma. We’re on five years now.

We got the DX in '03 when we were middle-aged. The Kaiser onc said 6 years! Occasional Rituxan has kept it in check.... but not CR.

22 yrs later, we're officially old. She just took off to the beach to meet her fast lady friends for their daily 5 mile fast walk.

We thought Rituxan was pricey at $15k a pop... CAR-T averages $500k ?

Jackie Kennedy Onassis lived 5 yrs after she was dx'd. All the kings horses and all the kings men at her disposal couldn't do what cancer research did in the next 20 years (fuck trump).

Down a rabbit hole: I'd urge all y'all to check out the wiki bio of Jackie O for the work she did to preserve and improve the historical value of the White House and its contents! It's quite relevant to current events.
