When Arash and Stephanie Rounaghi were both diagnosed with cancer, City of Hope gave them the support and care they needed to survive, change their lifestyle and live more authentically.
Arash and Stephanie, who have five children, were diagnosed with different forms of cancer four years apart. They turned to City of Hope for its advanced expertise in blood cancer research and treatment. Their journeys weren’t linear. But thanks to City of Hope’s bone marrow and blood stem cell transplant program and a stem cell donation from their eldest son, the couple got a second chance at life — and they’re living it to the fullest.
