In Two-Timed: An Adolescent Cancer Memoir, she tells her story in an honestand intimate manner – through private journals, written from the time of her diagnosis, until after the end of treatment.
She was diagnosed with Stage IV non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 1997, less than a month after her fourteenth birthday. After almost a year and a half in remission, the cancer relapsed, and she underwent chemotherapy, radiation, and an autologous stem cell transplant.
She has lived in Colorado since being adopted from Korea at thirteen months, and is close to her parents and two older brothers, who supported her through treatment.
She is an advocate for the implementation of survivorship programs which specifically address the long-term emotional needs of adult survivors of childhood cancer. She appreciates having the opportunity to connect with fellow patients and survivors. Her cancer has been in remission for twenty years.view less
