  • I hope you, your partner and entire family are ok in this worrying stage of your lives.

    My relative who was 28 had a large lump on her collar bone, she was quite ill for some time, constant cough that wouldn't go, the cough persisted for about 2/3 months. She did visit the GP and walk in centres but actually ended up in A&E due to breathing difficulties and went into intensive care. The doctors were amazing and started Chemotherapy the next day to help relief pressure from her heart, she had an X-ray taken 3 weeks earlier and they discovered the mass on her chest was 15cm by 9cm but unfortunately the Radiologist had not published his report at the time of her A&E visit. Basically, she was finally diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphona by the hospital, she had 6 months of Chemotherapy every 2 weeks and now she is in remission, has been for 10 months.

    My relative did not suffer with night sweats as far as I am aware but do recall that before being diagnosed she was complaining of any itchy back, which she has been told is also a symptom of Lymphona. 

    I know this will be a very worrying time, try and keep positive and please chase the GP and doctors for updates. 

     

  • Hi how is your relative now. Did they have radiotherapy, has there been any long term side effects. Hope all is well
