Inspirational Stories

On July 15, 2019, I was diagnosed with stage 2 Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). Before this, I was a healthy teenage girl going into my sophomore year of high school and playing volleyball. I started chemo and did four aggressive rounds. I finished chemo on October 3, 2019. Soon after, I was back at school. I started playing volleyball again in my junior year. Being diagnosed helped me realize what I want to do with my life. I’m now going into my freshman year of college to study nursing to become a pediatric oncology nurse. The impact my nurses had on my life during treatment is something I’ll never forget.
