They know what you're talking about. They're on the road ahead of you." - Laurie Adami   Guest:                    Benjamin Heyman, MD Hematologist Clinical Associate Professor City of Hope San Diego, CA   Laurie Adami R/R FL Patient Advocate Los Angeles, LA Received care at UCLA Lymphoma Program   Additional Reading/Sources ACCC Follicular Lymphoma Effective Practice Guide: Multidisciplinary Approaches to Treating Patients With R/R FL Putting Guidance Into Practice: Real-World Approaches to Relapsed/Refractory Folicular Lymphoma ACCC's Community Oncology Research Institute
