About this episode

In this episode, we dive deep into the inspiring journey of Christopher Soujah, an LAU student who graduated pharmacy school and navigated his Pharm-D while battling Hodgkin's lymphoma. Join us as he shares his personal story of resilience, determination, and the unique challenges he faced in balancing rigoruous academic demands with the physical and emotional toll of cancer treatment. 

Listeners will gain insight into the importance of support systems (Christopher was treated at LAUMC-RH) where he was surrounded by colleagues during his treatment), and effective coping strategies. Christopher is now cured and is moving to Houston, Texas to Methodist Hospital to continue his studies. 

Christopher's story is one of survival, empathy, and a celebration of life and perseverance.
