Hi, all. So my name is beth, and I've been wanting to try this for a while. Started a podcast, but kind of maybe too afraid, don't have the, I don't know, perfection that I think I want to be yet. So I thought this would be a good place to start. I am 25 years is off treatment for stage four C hodgkin's lymphoma

And I think a lot of people cancer has touched their lives in so many ways, like you said. So really happy that you're here and being just, I guess, leader and also just super brave and super open. And you're right, there's something about feeling the love of community that helps us get through a lot of stuff and finding where our voices mix in common themes is going to be really interesting. Okay, thanks so much

I hope this takes off, and I hope I'm actually in a life after cancer support group in England in a WhatsApp chat. And they've been really super helpful during COVID and beyond, so I sent it over to them. And, yeah, I also have a friend who's not ready to share, and that's okay because here I am, almost gosh 30 years with this. I'm 41. So I was 14 when I was diagnosed. Just now, really talking about it

It. Wow. Thank you, Josh. I believe this is great. Yeah, totally spot on. Support groups, in person if you can, people to be there for you. And it is like a gift to kind of live through what we did. But it's also like this weird, not nightmare, not dream, somewhere in between that's kind of gotten us to where we are. So, yeah, thanks for following responding replying and sharing your story

You? Yes. I wanted to say, praise God that you are totally healed of Hodgkins. I had Hodgkins about 20 years ago and I was sick. But my doctor just kept telling me it was anxiety. Long story short, God gave me a dream, told me I had cancer. Her showed me where it was, and told me exactly when I would be healed. I can't explain the dream. It was so beautiful. The places that he took me were all made out of prisms
