My Cancer Came BACK After 3 Months! Chelsey's Hodgkin Lymphoma Relapse Story | The Patient Story

Chelsey Gomez was diagnosed with stage 2 Hodgkin’s lymphoma at 28. After undergoing treatment she reached remission but after 3 months, scans revealed her cancer came back.

In this cancer vlog, Chelsey shares how she sought a second opinion during her relapse, after seeing a series of red flags from her oncologist like medical gaslighting and withholding medical information, how she processed her cancer relapse and her experience of undergoing stem cell transplant.

She now champions being a patient advocate and trusting your gut when it comes to your medical care. She also highlights the need for mental health support during and after treatment and the power of art and community in healing.
