Lymphoma Survivor

Mount Sinai, NY

Hi! My name is Savanna, I am 20 years old, and I am a 2x Hodgkin Lymphoma survivor. I was originally diagnosed as Stage IV unfavorable in November 2017 during my freshman year at college, after being sick for a nearly a year and a half. I had every symptom in the book, and even after seeing every doctor imaginable, I had to be my own advocate and took myself to walk-in clinics and to the ER until I had a diagnosis. Upon leaving school to receive treatment, I underwent 5 cycles of BEACOPP ch....

The impact on my family began as devastation but has since metamorphosed into restoration, healing, and a closeness beyond this world (bonus, my brother and I have never fought since the day I received the news of my disease). Undergoing chemotherapy, a collapsed lung from the insertion of a medi-port, countless blood transfusions, developing shingles, and anemia throughout, those days non....

Lymphoma Survivor

Point Pleasant, NJ

Rachel was diagnosed with stage 4B Hodgkin lymphoma in February 2015. She was 26 years old. The moment when her oncologist first spoke the words “you have cancer” were surreal to her. She looked to her parents who exchanged the same look of disbelief and shock, then quickly looked away before fear and sadness settled across their faces. Her mind started to race, “How am I stage 4? I don’t feel that sick. This has to be a mistake, where did this even come from? What happens now?”
