‘I feel like myself again’: UCLA clinical trial offers hope for lymphoma patients
In June 2018, actor Hirotaka Matsunaga was supposed to be two weeks away from opening night of “The Swords of Sorrow: BURAI II,” a play set in 1800s Japan. The 39-year-old had been cast as the lead. It was the big break he had been working toward since he moved to the U.S. from Japan more than 20 years ago to pursue his dreams.But his cancer diagnosis and an unsuccessful course of chemotherapy had shut down the play.“Around November 2017, I had acute pain in my stomach for weeks, and it got so bad that it became difficult to eat,” Matsunaga said.After a particularly agonizing dinner, he checked himself into a hosp...
