SPTCL, subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma, was the rare and deadly lymphoma that kick-started my work as Every Patient&#8217;s Advocate.  I was told I had it.  In fact, I was told by two labs and an oncologist that I [...]]]></description>

Often their own patient-hood causes some sort of epiphany.  That &#8220;aha!&#8221; moment that helps them GET IT.  Their work is no longer [...]]]></description>
