Jenny’s Immunotherapy Story

May 22, 2018December 14, 2022 CRI Staff

Lymphoma

There’s life during cancer, too. Especially when I was doing immunotherapy.

Jenny’s Story

Jenny was still in college when she learned she had advanced Hodgkin lymphoma. Her mother researched immunotherapy clinical trial options and helped Jenny become her own patient advocate. She enrolled in a trial testing a combination of the anti-PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor nivolumab (Opdivo®) along with the antibody-drug conjugate brentuximab vedotin (Adcentris®).

Kris Inman, Caregiver: Going home from the oncologist that day, we were shocked and frightened. The best defense against fear is knowledge and action.
