| | | STEWART LYMAN, PhD
Cancer Researcher and Biotechnology Consultant and Survivor of HPV-attributed Tonsil Cancer; Seattle, WA |
| Stewart was diagnosed with HPV-attributed tonsil cancer in 2016, and became an Alliance Ambassador for one simple reason. “I don’t want anyone else go through what I did. I was lucky that my cancer was caught fairly early, and after treatment my prognosis going forward is good,” explained Stewart. He has been fighting against cancer for most of his adult life. Not personally, but professionally. After earning a Ph.D. in cancer research, Stewart spent a large part of his career working in the lab, trying to develop innovative new cancer drugs. “Take it from me: cancer prevention is always preferable to cancer treatment. As I’ve transitioned from cancer researcher to cancer patient to cancer survivor, I vow to make every effort to keep others from joining my club,” explained Stewart. He strongly encourages parents to talk to their pediatricians and get both their boys and girls vaccinated against HPV. It could potentially save lives. |
