In 2017, I was diagnosed with lymphoma cancer. I was given a 6 month regiment of ABVD chemotherapy, which seemed to kill the cancer. At the time, I was told there was a higher than 95% chance that it wouldn’t come back. Then, in 2018, the cancer returned. I was put on a new and emerging form of chemotherapy. I then lived in a hospital for a full summer while I was given a stem cell transplant that totally reset my immune system.

The experience of surviving two back-to-back cancers changed me as a person. I learned the value of spending every day pursuing your passion, which is why I returned to content writing after a short stint as a UX Designer. It’s also why I live every day like it’s my last, with enthusiasm and positivity and hope.

During my treatments, I wrote a full blog about the experience.
