About Scott

Scott W Harden, DMD, PhD

I’m Scott W Harden, and this is my personal website. I use this space to share personal projects I work on and as a place to aggregate notes and documentation I collect along the way. My formal education is in molecular biology, dentistry, and neuroscience, but I am passionate about computer programming and electrical engineering.

Medical Updates

I was diagnosed with cancer in 2012 (peripheral T-cell lymphoma, PTCL-NOS) and began treatments in 2018 including chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and an autologous bone marrow transplant.

About my disease:
Understanding Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma (video)
Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma Fact Sheet (PDF)

How to help:
• Join the bone marrow donor registry (for US adults 18-40, it’s free and just requires a cheek swab!)

At the time of writing (early 2022) I am doing well, but the future of my disease remains somewhat uncertain. If this website hasn’t been updated in a while, you can verify that I’m okay by seeing recent activity on my GitHub account. My plan is to remove this message after achieving 5 years cancer-free.

July, 2022: I am now classified as a patient with relapsed peripheral T-cell lymphoma. Although I am not in any immediate danger, 3 years after my autologous bone marrow transplant it now seems likely that I will require additional treatment at some point. Currently my disease remains indolent and things are moving slowly, so my next course of treatment is not yet decided. I’ll update this page and https://swharden.com/med as I learn more.
