A 25-year-old young man fighting non-Hodgkin lymphoma is using social media to document his journey and support others throughout the country.Jace Yawnick, of Fort Myers, Florida, began using Instagram to share day-in-the-life videos after he was diagnosed in January of this year. 'The first thing I did was go to the internet... it's just incredible, it's a beautiful side of social media that people don't always see,' Yawnick said.
They brought it to my doctor's attention and they ordered an x-ray. They didn't find a hernia, they found three masses around my heart,' Yawnick said.Since that day, he has used social media as a platform to share his story of recovery. The young man is now on cycle five of his chemotherapy treatments at NCH Baker Hospital Downtown.'When I started my social media journey, I made my username @JaceBeatsCancer, and in that moment, I decided I was beating cancer,' Yawnick said.
