In this candid conversation, Judith (80), a former primary school teacher and writer, shares her journey with lymphoma: initial diagnosis, first-line chemotherapy, relapse, and the decision to discuss a clinical trial with her care team. Three years on, she talks about freedom, gratitude, and community.
Lymphoma (in Judith’s case, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, DLBCL) is an aggressive blood cancer, and many people relapse after first-line treatment—a reality that carries physical, emotional and practical burdens. Fear of progression or relapse is among the most common concerns reported by people living with lymphoma according to the Lymphoma Coalition’s 2024 Global Patient Survey.
What you’ll hear from Judith
How she learns she has lymphoma.
First-line chemo works at first; later, relapse appears.
After relapse, her team reviews options; she chooses a clinical trial.
With strong support, small daily gains lead to a clear scan and renewed freedom.
We are proud to amplify Lymphoma Coalition’s “Honest Talk” and raise awareness so that people affected by lymphoma can access information, support and the best possible options. Honest Talk encourages real conversations with clinicians, family, employers and careers so people can get the right support early. If you’re newly diagnosed or facing relapse, talk to your healthcare team about all options and about support for quality of life.
