A different monoclonal antibody treatment successfully treated my grandfather’s lymphoma 10 years ago. It had spread to occupy large portions of his lungs and this treatment was nothing short of miraculous. We watched in awe as the tumors shrunk away.

I hope it works as well for her.

I don't like to pry, but since my father had rare inoperable non-metastatic brain lymphoma and I have genetic concerns, is he still alive? What is his prognosis? How did he tolerate the treatment? (My apologies if it's too personal to discuss.)

He passed away a few years ago from congestive heart failure at 97. But he enjoyed a good last 10 years cancer free. He tolerated the treatment very well.
