Hodgkin's Lymphoma Survivor Story | Hair Loss | The Patient Story
CC Webster is a Hodgkin's Lymphoma Survivor. This is her story. She was 29 when she was diagnosed with stage IV Hodgkin lymphoma, after a misdiagnosis of mono. Now in remission, she talks about how hard hair loss was in the moment, but how it became such a moment of transformation and strength. "People see the bravery, they see a badass when they see that. I wish I had realized that earlier." You can find CC's entire story at The Patient Story: https://www.thepatientstory.com/cance... _____ Background: The Patient Story turns in-depth interviews from recent cancer survivors into a FAQ format-story along with timelines to give newly diagnosed patients and caregivers a sense of what their lives may look like in the upcoming months. Hear straight from the people who've already been through it. TPS (formerly OneDavid) was started by Stephanie Chuang, a non-Hodgkin lymphoma survivor, who wants cancer patients and caregivers to get the information they need in a human way, not with medical jargon. Visit www.ThePatientStory.com for more. If you would like to share a story, give feedback, or just say hello, we'd also love to hear from you! Please write us at [email protected]. _____ A message from our founder: My name is Stephanie. In 2013, I found a story that touched my heart: a group of friends were fighting to raise awareness about bone marrow donations for a young woman who'd been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. It had spread to her brain. Nina was in dire need of a bone marrow transplant. She's of Asian descent, which narrowed her odds of finding a match (fewer people of the same race and ethnicity registered to donate). The good news: she found a donor! The wife and mother of two is living happily. I couldn't be happier. The "odd" news: I was diagnosed with the same cancer, same sub-type just three years later. That motivated me to create The Patient Story: a company to help cancer patients and caregivers by giving them real answers from real people - people who've actually been through the experience.
