A Teacher’s Decade in Remission | Lincoln News

A Colorado teacher, Amy Cheese, is celebrating 10 years in remission after being diagnosed with lymphoma — a disease that once gave doctors only months to live. After relocating to Nebraska in 2016, she became one of the first patients to receive groundbreaking CAR T-cell therapy at the Fred and Pamela Buffett Cancer Center. This revolutionary treatment reprograms her own immune cells into cancer-hunting “lions,” turning her body into a living defense system. Months after the procedure, she was declared cancer-free — a miracle she now shares with her students using her vivid analogy. Now retired and spending time with her grandchildren, Amy credits the therapy and Omaha’s medical team for saving her life, calling it a powerful testament to science, hope, and human resilience.
