Harry’s Cancer Battle
Hudson, 27, who could often be spotted on episodes of Keeping up with the Kardashians, was diagnosed in June 2013 with Hodgkin lymphoma. According to People, he paused his career while undergoing treatment for the disease. Hudson underwent 8 months of chemotherapy to treat his Hodgkin lymphoma.
His chemotherapy was effective, and in January 2019, the singer celebrated five years of being cancer-free. “I knew in my heart that I was going to beat it because I didn’t want to give up fighting on life, [which] is so special and means something,” he told People magazine in 2019. “For me, I wanted to figure out what that meaning was, so I wanted to fight to stay alive.”
Understanding Lymphoma
Lymphoma is a cancer that affects the white blood cells, and it is typically classified as one of two types: Hodgkin or Non-Hodgkin. The distinction between the two lies in the presence of Reed-Sternburg cells.
If doctors can detect Reed-Sternberg cells in a patient, the cancer is diagnosed as Non-Hodgkin (this is the more common type of lymphoma). And if the cells aren't found, it is classified as Hodgkin lymphoma, which is the more treatable between the two. Lymphoma can be treated with chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and CAR T-Cell therapy.

Coping with Parental Cancer Loss
Eve’s father, Steve Jobs, passed away in 2011 after a battle with pancreatic cancer. Jobs was a titan of tech who revolutionized the world of personal computing, and his loss was felt throughout the tech world. Losing a parent to cancer is particularly devastating and can be helped with resources like therapy and support groups.

Camila Legaspi was in high school when she lost her mother to breast cancer and she credits therapy with seeing her through that difficult time. In a previous interview, Legaspi said, “Therapy saved my life. I was dealing with some really intense anxiety and depression at that point. It just changed my life, because I was so drained by all the negativity that was going on. Going to a therapist helped me realize that there was still so much out there for me, that I still had my family, that I still had my siblings.”
“The reality is, is when you lose someone, it’s really, really, really hard,” said Legaspi. “And it’s totally OK to talk to someone. And I’m so happy that I talked to my therapist. Keep your chin up, and it’s going to be OK. No matter what happens, it’s going to be OK.”
