Kerry Breen - March 2026
Debi Weiss was teaching Pilates when she was diagnosed with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma after feeling tired and short of breath. She took time off of work to undergo chemotherapy. A month after treatment was finished, her team discovered the lymphoma had recurred in her brain. She started a new immunotherapy called CAR-T which required hospitalization for weeks after each therapy. She is now "in complete remission" and shows no evidence of disease.
She is now back to work at two part-time jobs she loves and says her she has a whole new perspective. "Your priorities change. Before, I would work and I would not do things because I needed to work, I was scheduled, I needed to do (something else). Now, if my family needs me, I don't work. I will be where my family is at any given moment."
