Join us for a special two-part episode as we speak to Dr. Christabel Cheung, a two-time Hodgkin Lymphoma Survivor. In Part One, Christabel tells us about her longtime journey with lymphoma, including a relapse and going through the second diagnosis during a global pandemic. She shares her struggles of not only a diagnosis, where she is in the small percentage that didn’t respond to first-line treatment, but also going through cancer as a racial minority and young adult. Be sure to tune into Part Two as she delves more into health disparities for young adults and BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) communities.
