Ep 054 Marathons To Incurable Stage 4 Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma Caroline Rose Journey

In November of 2004, Caroline Rose was in the very best shape of her life. A few months prior, she had run her fastest marathon in San Diego, beating out all of her previous six finishing times in Austin, Nashville, Dallas, New York, and Boston. One month prior, Caroline had completed the Los Angeles Triathlon, finishing in the top bracket in her age division. She was even in the process of training to climb Mount Kilimanjaro with her brother.

Then Caroline’s entire world was turned upside down.

While getting bloodwork and the necessary vaccinations for an upcoming trip to Africa, it was discovered her platelets were at a life-threatening level. Within 18 hours Caroline was diagnosed with highly aggressive, incurable stage 4 non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
