A 32-year-old woman has opened up on how her cancer had missed repeatedly-until a scan did not disclose 8 cm tumor in her chest. For years, Emma Sims felt that something was not right with her as she was unable to gain weight, tiredness and seriously struggling with itching legs.

However, when she began to suffer from night sweat and chronic chest pain – when she asked her doctors who had sought answers three times, saying that it was “nothing serious.” Emma from Stratford-on-Aven said, “I was away three times by my GP and even finished in A&E.” “Every time I was told that it was nothing serious. They conducted a blood test and clearly told me that I did not have a lymphoma,” he said.

However, his symptoms continued to deteriorate, and were finally sent to the Hematology Department of the hospital, where an 8 -cm tumor was recorded in his chest in a CT scan and spreading to his right lungs. He then officially revealed Hodgkin’s lymphoma – a rare form of blood cancer. Emma explained, “I was told on the phone a few weeks ago that the biopsy had confirmed it, so I had some time to get my head around it.” “But nothing prepares you to sit there and to see the scanned image,” he said.

The treatment of Emma began with one of the most aggressive forms of chemotherapy, which was given in acute burst for several days. And now that he has finished his second cycle, doctors now plan to switch to a separate Chemo Regimen known as ABVD.

However, the passage of recovery has been easy away.

“I have received two stones in two months from steroids, and between it, between blotting and hair loss, sometimes I hardly recognize myself in a mirror.” Emma was most surprised how she was fighting with her mental health. She says, “People may be shocked to hear this, but for me, dealing with cancer has become easier than my previous mental health conflicts.”
