Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is the most common type of non- Hodgkin lymphoma. But each patient experience is different; from the type of symptoms to how it impacts various aspects of life. We want to hear about it. Take part in a phone interview study.

@TheFlenser Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps). Low is a very close second.

I’ve been listening to Hunky Dory regularly since I was a teenager. Never gets a old. What’s your favorite Bowie record?

Joe Maddon’s annual Respect Bald charity event taking place today. Players get their hair cut to benefit pediatric cancer research. Players have contributed a lot of money to this cause over the years.

Happy birthday to you! Your books live through and through. No one else has made more readers than you ❤️ - Our love filled, yet admittedly mediocre, attempt at Dr. Seuss (it’s really hard - give it a try! In fact, he would probably love it if you do today!)

March! 😏⚾️
