Why Lime?

LIME is the colour for lymphoma on the cancer rainbow.
Going lime raises awareness and funds for a very special cause. Your support and participation in Lymphoma in the Limelight will allow us to fund Lymphoma Care Nurses across Australia.

Imagine the difference that these specialists will have for people newly diagnosed and needing information; for families who need support and education and to lean on throughout their journey.

Dedicated lymphoma care nurses will be there to help patients and their families to navigate the healthcare system, access the most up to date treatments and take the fear of the unknown out of the lymphoma journey.

Simply – Lymphoma Care Nurses are changing lives.

The key roles of a Lymphoma Care Nurse includes the following:

  • support and education to newly diagnosed lymphoma patients and their families – this includes emotional support, access to support groups and websites, helping with appointments, explaining treatment regimes including clinical trials, interaction with social work and allied health, addressing fertility issues and implementing survivorship programs.
  • education initiatives such as simple summaries of treatment regimes, which can be provided to patients Australia wide. With over 80 different types of lymphoma, each having unique treatment, which may vary with the age of the patient, stage of the disease and whether the treatment is frontline or for a relapse, there a huge number of regimes out there.
  • Ensuring timely access to clinical trials for all lymphoma patients.

We can only make this happen together. Help us raise awareness and put Lymphoma in the Limelight

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.
