đź’¨ Abstract
The author, Georgie Swallow, experienced severe itching, fatigue, weight loss, and frequent illnesses, which she initially dismissed. After discovering a lump on her neck and struggling to breathe, she was diagnosed with stage 4 Hodgkin Lymphoma in 2018. Despite the shock, she remained positive during her chemotherapy and fundraising efforts. After a brief remission, the cancer returned, requiring a stem cell transplant.
