My Subtle Symptoms Were Cancer! Stephanie | From TV Reporter to Lymphoma Patient | The Patient Story

Stephanie was a TV news reporter in San Francisco, just two months away from her wedding, when her world turned upside down. What she thought was a routine doctor’s visit led to a shocking Stage 3 Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma diagnosis within 24 hours. In this cancer vlog, Stephanie shares the symptoms she brushed off, the grueling 600 hours of chemotherapy, and the emotional toll of facing an aggressive disease. With insights from two top lymphoma specialists, Dr. Andy Evans and Dr. Tyson Phillips, she explores the latest breakthroughs in lymphoma treatment, including CAR-T cell therapy and bispecific antibodies.
