Katie, stage 2 Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) patient, photographed in hospital

In October 2021, I was diagnosed with stage 2 Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). This journey of over 100 appointments has not been easy and something I never would have imagined I would walk through at the age of 26. I know God didn’t put me through this without a purpose. God has given me so much strength and confidence through this journey. I want to use it to encourage people in my life going through trials and hardships to see the light at the end of the tunnel and have confidence they will make it through it.

I am so grateful for all the prayers and the support of my amazing family, friends, nurses, and doctors throughout my cancer journey.

I was thrilled to ring the bell and announce I am cancer-free and done with all my chemotherapy treatments.
