Back to EpisodesAbby's Fight: Cancer Misdiagnosis & Recovery
Description
Abby Maxwell, a 25-year-old woman from Blantyre, underwent a dramatic weight loss of six stone in under a year due to undiagnosed high-grade non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Despite her concerns and low folic acid levels, her doctor attributed her symptoms to anxiety. After a lump under her arm led to an ultrasound and biopsy, she was diagnosed in January 2023. Abby underwent chemotherapy and is now cancer-free, advocating for better awareness and faster diagnoses for young cancer patients.
