Harry Hudson is a 20-year-old recording artist in the midst of
an up-and-coming music career. His debut album debuted in March 2013, which was followed by a music video for his
single, "World Is Gone."
June 21 was the day when his life changed drastically. Hudson was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma, a type of cancer originating from white blood cells.
While undergoing six months of chemotherapy, Hudson managed to keep a level head by
documenting his fight online.
His words and photos are not only inspiring examples of perseverance and
positive thinking, but a way for him to cope.
He describes to Mashable that he social media was his way of seeking support when he was feeling alone in his illness:
"I realized that there were thousands of young adults living with cancer who are just like me," he said. "So I turned to social media to reach out to those who I couldn't physically be there to help. If I could inspire one person to live their life to the fullest, then I accomplished what I set out to do."
Check out a couple more examples below, and the rest over on Hudson's official
Twitter and
Instagram accounts.

"Thought I was on the right track to being finished in 4 weeks but that all changed. My immune system is way to low to do anymore chemos at the time. It is once again another bump in the road...but I will keep fighting till I'm fully back to normal. Thank you for all your love and prayers. I'm very frustrated right now but ima keep on smiling !"
