Lymphoma Awareness Month

GO LIME - Hair

September is World Lymphoma Awareness month, so it is time to put lymphoma in the limelight!

Throughout September we are encouraging our lymphoma community and Australia to GO LIME. Show your support by wearing lime for someone with lymphoma, share a fact to help raise awareness, take on a challenge, and share #Lime4Lymphoma. Together, we can put the limelight on lymphoma.

Lymphoma Australia is the only charity dedicated to lymphoma and CLL, supporting patients, carers and health professionals.

Shining a limelight on lymphoma leads to earlier diagnosis, better access to treatments, and support for a cure.

Lime is the colour of the cancer rainbow for lymphoma and there are many ways you can join the GO LIME campaign with us.

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.

For more information on CAR T-cells and T-cell lymphoma click here. 

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.
