Cancer Relapse: Chemo, Radiation & Stem Cell Transplant (Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma) | Robyn’s Story (2/3)

After experienced radiologist, Robyn, learned she had non-Hodgkin lymphoma (diffuse large B-cell lymphoma or DLBCL), she transitioned from doctor to cancer patient. Robyn underwent R-CHOP and went into remission, traveling with her family.
Four years later, she felt another lymph node swollen, this time on the back of the neck. The cancer was back. In this second part of our conversation, Robyn talks about those symptoms, having to go through treatment again, including more intense chemo and a stem cell transplant.
Thank you for sharing your story, Robyn!
