My name is Grace, and I was diagnosed with stage 2B nodular sclerosis Hodgkin lymphoma (NSHL) in August 2023. My diagnosis gave me a different outlook on life, and I realized how precious the little things are, and through it, I also found out just how strong I am. 

While chemotherapy was one of the most difficult things I’ve ever had to do, readjusting to society afterwards proved to be even more challenging. Navigating this journey was difficult at first, but with the help of my family and friends, I found my way back. I hope to give back to others who are in the same shoes I was in and ensure that new patients never feel lost or alone.
