Hi there,

I'm 25 and have been coughing for the past 3 months. I finally got an X-Ray last week and a specialist called me the next day, I then had a CT scan and blood tests the following day.

From this, the specialist said that he thinks I have lymphoma cancer. They said they saw a widening in my lungs and also that I had a lump between my neck and shoulder. I haven't yet had my biopsy and I did ask the doctor if it could be anything else but he didn't seem to budge. I know they are specialists for a reason but i'm wondering if anyone has been in a similar situation and it wasn't cancer? I don't have any other symptoms other than coughing - I know this can mean type A. I'm just abit worried and also quite shocked - i don't really expect to be diagnosed with something like this so young but apparently it's common in young people! I'd just love to hear experiences whether positive or negative from people to understand what is going on and potential next steps as i'm abit shellshocked by it all to be honest. 

Thanks xx
