Advocating to redefine the narrative of survivorship for young adults
Hi, I’m Callie.
At just 37 years old, my life took an unimaginable turn—I was diagnosed with stage IV double expressor lymphoma. In an instant, everything was put on hold as I entered a relentless three-year battle against an aggressive and resistant cancer. With so many life milestones still ahead of me, I wasn’t just fighting the disease—I was also reckoning with a decade of medical neglect, trauma, and life-altering treatments. I endured chemotherapy, intrathecal chemotherapy, more chemotherapy, radiation, and a genetically modified T-cell transplant (CAR T). Honestly, I stopped counting when my MyChart hit 400 test results.
As a young cancer survivor, I’ve grappled with overwhelming guilt, fear, and the physical and emotional toll of this disease—from losing control over my body and fertility to figuring out what comes next. My life as a fearless entrepreneur, thriving on risk and freedom, was completely upended. Suddenly, I barely recognized myself. I was scared, lost, and mourning a life I once knew, all while being forced to build a new one—while still sick, exhausted, and unprepared.
I created this space to share my story honestly and to help others navigating similar challenges. Facing cancer at a young age is incredibly isolating—the system isn’t designed for patients like me, those who would have died five or ten years ago but are now surviving because of medical advancements. In reality, the system isn’t prepared for any young survivor.
My goal is to shed light on the raw and often unspoken realities of surviving cancer. I talk about traditional treatments, natural healing methods, and everything in between because I firmly believe that true wellness requires both. Most importantly, I want to create a space where survivors and fighters alike feel seen, supported, and understood. Together, we can break the silence surrounding cancer and reclaim our lives—on our own terms.
