Hey! 
 

I had no symptoms of cancer but found a lump on my neck. My liver and spleen were checked with ultrasound and they were normal. My bloods were taken frequently and I was always told no further action needed. 
 

the one thing that worried me was that I had just given birth and the lumps were totally painless. 
 

Finally - after months I was listened to and just before our first family Christmas I was diagnosed with stage 4 Hodgkin's lymphoma bulky disease. 
 

I don't want to worry you but I honestly feel be reassured that everything is quick paced, the experts will know more when you get an ultrasound and biopsy. 
firthermore, the treatment is so effective for most and I am being cured even though it was in my lung and the nodes are massive. The treatments out there are amazing today! 
 

hope you're doing okay otherwise - take it easy and follow your gut.  

Thank you for your reply! I am so sorry to hear about your diagnosis, I hope you are ok. I do feel like something is wrong, i'm so so tired all the time which a bedtime of 7pm for a 22 year old i'd say is abnormal and also I am losing a bit of weight not loads but my clothes are getting baggy and if anything ive eaten so unhealthy recently i wouldve thought i'd put on weight! I also feel like my breathing is a little funky! 

Take care! Xx

I'm 27 and a primary teacher (don't know if that's what you are doing) 

I never listened to any normal tests I never felt relieved that they kept telling me everything was normal. I always felt filled with aniexty and I had a cough in the end I couldn't shift. Turned out I have 12cm node in my right lung too. They blamed covid - always negative tests though but no one would come near me. 
 

I felt the knowing was easier to handle than the not knowing. I wish people urged me through quicker. 
 

I am almost half way through treatment the now and already my lumps on my neck have disappeared and the ones at my collarbone are softer at least.
