Nicky Greenhalgh

Nicky Greenhalgh was diagnosed with Stage IV Grade 2 Follicular Non-Hodgkins lymphoma in 2014, when she was just 32 years old living in Western Australia with her husband and two kids. Nicky had not long ago had her youngest child and was working full-time as a mortgage broker when she was diagnosed. At the time, she was told that her life expectancy was 10 years. Now 10 years later, Nicky shares her story that began as a daunting battle against illness and depression which ultimately led her to discover a new passion for patient advocacy and career as a clinical nutritionist.
