Background:

The Patient Story turns indepth interviews from recent cancer survivors into a FAQ formatstory along with timelines to give newly diagnosed patients and caregivers a sense of what their lives may look like in the upcoming months. Hear straight from the people who've already been through it.

TPS (formerly OneDavid) was started by Stephanie Chuang, a nonHodgkin lymphoma survivor, who wants cancer patients and caregivers to get the information they need in a human way, not with medical jargon. Visit www.ThePatientStory.com for more.

If you would like to share a story, give feedback, or just say hello, we'd also love to hear from you! Please write us at [email protected].

A message from our founder:

My name is Stephanie.

In 2013, I found a story that touched my heart: a group of friends were fighting to raise awareness about bone marrow donations for a young woman who'd been diagnosed with nonHodgkin lymphoma. It had spread to her brain.

Nina was in dire need of a bone marrow transplant. She's of Asian descent, which narrowed her odds of finding a match (fewer people of the same race and ethnicity registered to donate).

The good news: she found a donor! The wife and mother of two is living happily. I couldn't be happier.
The "odd" news: I was diagnosed with the same cancer, same subtype just three years later.

That motivated me to create The Patient Story: a company to help cancer patients and caregivers by giving them real answers from real people people who've actually been through the experience.
