A British teacher suddenly fell while touring a mall, and discovered that she had stage four cancer, after doctors told her that.
Molly Mulheron, 24, had recently returned from traveling in the Galapagos Islands, where she began to have difficulty breathing and swallowing, according to the British Daily Mail.
Although she had such problems that she nearly drowned while scuba diving, medics on the islands told her the problems were “in her head”.
She returned to the UK on February 4, after nine months abroad, and within 48 hours she started vomiting and collapsed at Booths supermarket in North Yorkshire.
Ms Mulheron was immediately taken to Airedale Hospital in Steeton, near Bradford, where doctors found a 15cm tumor above her heart and lungs and diagnosed her with stage four non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL).
Lymphoma is a cancer of the lymph system, which is the body’s disease-fighting network.
More than 14,000 people in the UK and 80,000 in the US receive a diagnosis of NHL each year, according to the charity. It is also a rare form of cancer, and it makes up just 4% of all cases in the kingdom.
There are different types of lymphoma, but there are two main types:
１- Hodgkin.
２- Non-Hodgkin
Both have a much better prognosis than many types of cancer.
