Woman Finds Out If She's Cancer-Free After More Than 400 Days

A woman has shared the tearful moment she received a voicemail asking her to check her hospital's patient portal – which then revealed she is cancer-free after more than 400 days. Alyssa Pace, 28, had been documenting her cancer journey on social media, and when she received the message while sitting in her car, decided she’d record her reaction to the portal’s results page. As soon as Alyssa, from Loveland, Ohio, saw the good news on her device, she immediately put her hand to her mouth, trying her best to hold back happy tears as she declared, “I’m cancer-free!” Alyssa's fight against cancer began in 2019, when she started falling a lot at work and had bad vision problems. A doctor diagnosed her with having cancerous tumors on her spine, and after starting radiation treatment immediately, she was in remission by the beginning of 2020. But in December that year, a month after getting married, Alyssa's symptoms returned, and she was told she had stage 2 central nervous system lymphoma and needed to restart treatment immediately. The 28-year-old documented that journey on her TikTok account, as her second cancer fight, she said, was "more brutal," given that cancer that attacks the nervous system is not as common as others. During this period, Alyssa was having treatment three times a week, until those rounds ended late in 2021, when doctors started seeing a great improvement in her condition. For Alyssa, it was then a case of waiting to see if her treatment had worked – news she received in March 2022.
