Patient Stories
A serious health condition may make you feel like you’re all alone. But you’re not. Over the years, many of our patients have shared their stories with us at Seattle Cancer Care Alliance (SCCA) so that we may share them with you.
Hodgkin's Lymphoma Survivor
A little more than a year after her transplant for Hodgkin’s lymphoma, Pamela Clark is cancer-free and busy surfing competitively, promoting surfing for women and raising funds for organizations such as the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma Survivor
Susan Ault moved to the Pacific Northwest to get treatment for her non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma at Seattle Cancer Care Alliance. Now a survivor, she’s taken up permanent residence in Sequim.
Aplastic Anemia Survivor
Returning from a climb near Mt. Everest in 2004, Matt Fioretti thought his doctors were crazy after he learned he had aplastic anemia.
Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia Survivor
Doing nothing more than walking after dinner, Joyce Miner wondered if she was having a heart attack. But what she had was lymphocytic leukemia, Philadelphia chromosome positive (ALL Ph+).
Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Survivor
When Oktar Babuna was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, the search for a bone marrow donor inspired 160,000 people to be tested. “SCCA does more (transplants) than any place in the world ... so I came here. And I’m glad I did.”
