Your Stories: Conquering Cancer - Dr. Mailhot and Auburn Discuss Hodgkin Lymphoma

Conquer Cancer^®, the ASCO Foundation shares powerful stories of people impacted by cancer in the Your Stories: Conquering Cancer podcast. In this Your Stories episode, Auburn, a former UF Health Proton Therapy Institute patient and her physician, Raymond B. Mailhot, MD, MPH, talk about Auburn’s Hodgkin lymphoma journey from diagnosis through recovery and her plans for the future to why continued cancer research is critical for young patients everywhere.

Listen to this conversation for a personal account of facing Hodgkin lymphoma, a blood cancer that often requires an extremely challenging regimen of chemotherapy and often radiation. Proton therapy, a form of radiation, can reduce the body dose of radiation by 40-50% compared with X-rays — or traditional radiation.
