Episode 203 - Supporting Survivors Through Art, Advocacy, & Humor With Chelsey Gomez

In this week’s episode, we’re joined by two-time Hodgkins Lymphoma survivor, writer, artist, and advocate Chelsey Gomez. In this wide-reaching episode, we discuss Chelsey’s cancer story, some of her best advice to patients and caregivers, the language surrounding cancer, and much more.

As the owner of the brand “Ohyouresotough,” Chelsey creates humorous and nontraditional art and gifts for cancer patients that are unique, original, and real. She has also written books and articles that share the reality of battling cancer and explore how mainstream depictions of cancer need to be challenged to allow patients to process cancer in their own way.
