Bumps on My Neck - Stephenie | Hodgkin Lymphoma | The Patient Story

Stephenie began noticing swollen lymph nodes on her neck that weren't going away. After waiting months, she finally went to see the doctor at her university health center. She then realized the other symptoms she'd been dismissing like night sweats, extreme fatigue and weight loss. After several tests, she was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

In this cancer vlog, she describes her experiences with chemotherapy, radiation, and two stem cell transplants. She opens up about the challenges of navigating treatment while finishing graduate school and the importance of advocating for yourself throughout the process.
