About the FLF
Nobody deserves to live with an incurable cancer. The Follicular Lymphoma Foundation (FLF) plans to change that. We are the first charity dedicated to finding a cure for FL – and fast.
And with your help, we will cure follicular lymphoma.
Follicular lymphoma (FL) is a type of blood cancer affecting hundreds of thousands of people across the world. Follicular lymphoma is the 2nd most common Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, yet despite its prevalence, most people have never heard of it. This means it’s not getting the attention or the funding it deserves.
Follicular lymphoma isn’t like most other cancers. For most people, FL isn’t an aggressive disease. Instead, people with it will go through periods of active disease, followed by remissions. Living with follicular lymphoma causes a range of physical and emotional challenges, as well as living with the uncertainty of not knowing when and how the cancer will return.
Around a fifth of people with follicular lymphoma will develop an acute form of the disease which can be highly resistant to treatment and have a poor outcome for patients
Follicular lymphoma is currently incurable, but we are committed to changing that – for patients living with FL now and for those who will be diagnosed in the future. With your help, a cure is just around the corner.
