RACHEL GINGOLD

In 1989, at the age of 24, Rachel was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma as she was beginning her career as an Optical Engineer. Treated with mantle radiotherapy and chemotherapy, she has since experienced several long-term effects such as breast cancer and radiation fibrosis. Throughout her career, Rachel has worn many hats, including working as a technical project manager and starting her own business in 2002 as a muralist, furniture refinisher, and painting teacher. She lives in the San Francisco Bay Area, and enjoys connecting in person with her fellow survivors.
