Despite years of severe symptoms that doctors continuously misdiagnosed for kidney stones, hormonal imbalance and urinary tract infections (UTIs), Carol Dabie never imagined the possibility of having cancer. A CT scan in November 2019 finally revealed a mass and a biopsy further revealed that the 39-year-old had Cervical Clear Cell Carcinoma, a rare and incurable type of cancer. She is now in her third year of chemotherapy and radiation and despite the severe effects on her health both mental and physical, Dabie is hopeful that one day she will be cancer-free. She spoke with the News Room about navigating cancer treatment during the COVID-19 pandemic.
