World Cancer Day 2025:
Supporting Follicular Lymphoma Patients

Why Patients Are at the Heart of Our Mission

World Cancer Day is on the 4th February. This year’s theme, United by Unique, emphasizes an essential shift in cancer care: putting patients at the heart of every decision.

Treating follicular lymphoma (FL) is about more than medical breakthroughs—it’s about recognizing and addressing the unique challenges faced by every patient. By combining compassionate, patient-centered care with cutting-edge science, we strive to see the person behind the diagnosis and create meaningful, lasting change in their lives.

Bridging the gap

FL is a chronic form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, requiring lifelong management. Patients face not only physical symptoms but also emotional, social, and psychological challenges that can make their journey overwhelming.

At the FLF, we are committed to bridging the gap between cutting-edge research and real-life patient needs. Together, we can ensure that no one with FL feels unseen or unsupported.

The difference we’re making:

  • Webinar attendees consistently report a significant increase in knowledge on the subject matter.
  • Attendees express feeling less isolated, less worried about their condition, and more confident in asking the right questions regarding treatment and clinical trials options.
  • With thanks to the FLF Super Supporters Group, a committed group of people affected by FL, patients have played a vital role in shaping FLF’s research priorities. Through patient review panels, focus groups, and surveys they have guided FLF’s programs and fostered meaningful discussions at international conferences, shining a spotlight on FL and driving the research agenda forward.  

At the FLF, we believe knowledge is power and community is strength. Through patient-led initiatives, we empower individuals to take an active role in their care and foster a sense of belonging.

How we’re making an impact:

  • Interactive webinars: Our events connect patients, caregivers, and experts to provide practical advice and emotional support. Recent topics include mental health, coping strategies, and navigating FL treatments.
  • Personal stories: Inspiring patient journeys help others feel less alone and build resilience during difficult times.
  • Educational resources: We provide accessible, up-to-date information on treatments, therapies, and living with FL, helping patients make informed decisions.
