Webinar: The Emotional Impact of Lymphoma

Lymphoma Australia invites you to our next free educational webinar tailored to patients, families, and carers of those affected by lymphoma.

Being diagnosed with lymphoma and its treatments can have an impact on your mental health and emotions. There are many feelings you may experience, and some might even surprise you. In fact, you don’t even have to be the one diagnosed with lymphoma to be affected by changes to your mental health and emotions. Many family members and loved ones can also be affected.

Join us as we hear from Dr John Chalmers, Clinical Psychologist at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, who will discuss the emotional impact of lymphoma, including feelings after diagnosis, coping with difficult feelings, where to find support and finding a ‘new’ normal.

Useful Definitions

  • Refractory: This means the lymphoma does not get better with treatment. The treatment didn’t work as hoped.
  • Relapsed: This means the lymphoma came back after being gone for a while after treatment.
  • 2nd line treatment: This is the second treatment you get if the first one didn’t work (refractory) or if the lymphoma comes back (relapse).
  • 3rd line treatment: This is the third treatment you get if the second one didn’t work or the lymphoma comes back again.
  • Approved: Available in Australia and listed by the Therapeutics Goods Administration (TGA).
  • Funded: Costs are covered for Australian citizens. This means if you have a Medicare card, you shouldn’t have to pay for the treatment.[WO7]

You need healthy T-cells to make CAR T-cells. For this reason, CAR T-cell therapy cannot be used if you have a T-cell lymphoma – yet.

Special Note: Although your T-cells are removed from your blood for CAR T-cell therapy, most of our T-cells live outside of our blood – in our lymph nodes, thymus, spleen and other organs.
