Valerie David 3x Cancer Survivor New York, New York USA

Chest pains and severe fatigue drove Valerie David to seek medical attention, which led to a diagnosis of Stage 3B Cell Diffuse Large Cell Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. A chemotherapy regimen helped her achieve survivorship. However, years later, she discovered a lump under her armpit. After getting it checked out, she was diagnosed with Stage 2 Invasive Lobular Carcinoma, a form of breast cancer. Again, aided by a chemotherapy regimen, Valerie survived this diagnosis, but not long after that, she was diagnosed with Stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. Despite the staging, Valerie was prescribed a less aggressive form of chemotherapy, and survived. Inspired by her cancer journey, she written and starred in an award-winning one-woman play, “The Pink Hulk,” seen throughout the United States and in Europe.
