When Justin noticed a dip in his competitive cycling performance, a visit to the chiropractor led to the discovery of Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Washington University radiation oncologist Maria Thomas, MD, PhD, and Washington University medical oncologist Neha Mehta-Shah, MD, recount Justin’s elite perseverance and championship attitude that got him through a marathon of chemotherapy, radiation and a stem cell transplant.
