Kalee's Story

Roanoke entrepreneur, business owner, and mom 

10-year survivor of large-B cell lymphoma

Diagnosed with large B-cell lymphoma during her senior year of college, Kalee, a former multi-sport athlete, faced the unexpected diagnosis of large B-cell lymphoma with resilience and determination.

She was shocked when she couldn’t even walk up the stairs without shortness of breath or coughing. She saw a doctor on a Thursday, had a biopsy and CT scan on Friday, was referred to oncology on Monday and began chemotherapy treatments the following week. A tumor the size of an eggplant was completely compressing her right lung.

Now, a decade later, she is the proud mom of two young daughters and a thriving entrepreneur, founding Nourished IV Drip Bar & Wellness Clinic, with a second location now open in Westlake, continuing her mission to empower others through wellness and recovery.
