Check out this March 27th NBC News interview with Senator Arlen Specter, a Hodgkins Lymphoma survivor, in which he speaks frankly about the shock of his diagnosis, tips for getting through chemotherapy, the reactions of others and the importance of getting a second opinion:
Since my December 2, 2005 Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma diagnosis, I've been on a slow-motion journey of survivorship. Chemo wiped out my aggressive disease in May, 2006, but an indolent variety is still lurking. I had my thyroid removed due to papillary thyroid cancer in 2011, and was diagnosed with recurrent thyroid cancer in 2017. Join me for a survivor's reflections on life, death, faith, politics, the Bible and everything else. DISCLAIMER: I’m not a doctor, so don't look here for medical advice.
