Francesca Knee-Wright's experience demonstrates the importance of addressing health concerns promptly, as she faced a significant delay in diagnosis after initially downplaying symptoms.
"When I eventually went back to the doctor after finding two more lumps they called me in person and said it might be a virus that you can get when you have cats... in the back of my head I thought 'oh gosh, a lump means cancer'."
The public relations specialist considers herself lucky to have found the lumps when she did and believes doctors should 'see you right away' when someone finds a lump.
According to the NHS, Hodgkin's Lymphoma is a relatively aggressive form of cancer that can quickly spread through the body, yet it was fortuitous that the lumps were discovered early.
