My Journey

I had been living in Paris for 4 years when I was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, age 22. While I was undergoing chemotherapy, I launched my production company, and threw myself into work. Only two months after an initially successful treatment, a new lump was found. Emotionally and physically drained, I refused further treatments and ventured into the world of alternative medicine. A year and a half later with various cancer diets and alternative healing methods, the tumour on my neck had grown to the size of an orange. I had reached my limit and got back in touch with the hospital.
I went through various protocols of chemo and radiotherapy for over a year, while boosting my mental and physical health with the help of natural treatments I learned about previously, especially ayurveda. After a stem cell transplant in the summer of 2012, I was finally in remission.

Then, in 2017, as I was living in London, I had a relapse. An immediate round of chemotherapy was followed by another high dose therapy and stem cell transplant.
In order to minimise the chance of another relapse, the doctors suggested a six-month anti-body treatment which I successfully finished in the summer of 2018.

As of then I have been in remission.
In 2020 I started working on a book about this journey.
