Her story continues with the lengthy journey of fighting the cancer with different types of chemotherapies and drugs, and her participation in several clinical trials for new drugs when nothing else worked. And how she got to be the very first patient at UCLA in a clinical trial with CAR-T therapy for follicular non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
