Georgie Swallow, a 32-year-old content producer from London, was diagnosed with stage 4 Hodgkin lymphoma at 28. She revealed that she ignored several warning signs for over a year, dismissing them as stress or exhaustion.
One day, after recovering from the flu, she noticed a lump on her neck but didn’t think much of it. She also experienced itchy legs, night sweats, and fatigue, which she attributed to stress and being overworked. Despite these symptoms, she hesitated to see a doctor, worrying she might be wasting their time.
Georgie’s cancer treatment caused early menopause, which she found emotionally challenging, especially since she hadn’t had the chance to have children. Now, she is sharing her experience to raise awareness about cancer symptoms and the impact of early menopause on mental health.
