diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL)

I am a four-time diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) survivor and a recent stem cell transplant (SCT) survivor. DLBCL is a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). My first diagnosis was in 2007, then 2012, 2013, and 2023. I received invaluable support financially from The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS). People often ask how I am so positive after all I've been through. I think we need to take whatever we are dealt and make the best of it each day. The key is a positive attitude, gratitude, and a strong support system.
