off topic but my brother was diagnosed with NHL last year and prior to treatment, he was in a lot of pain in his glands and back, extremely uncomfortable and admitted to hospital for exhaustion and severe dehydration because he had zero appetite, was rapidly losing weight & what he did eat / drink he couldn’t keep down. So I have to politely disagree.Micheal Aspel was told he had NHL in 2003 but refused treatment
there's no discomfort or pain and is no real immediate threat it just lives inside you
Mike will be 89 in January
Sometimes it just doesn’t live within you & depends on how severe it is. He has finished his chemo now, luckily his symptoms have near enough disappeared & he is just waiting for a PET scan to show that the chemo has worked. Much like all medical conditions it effects everyone differently but it is most certainly not something to be dismissed. Those others who have friends and family members with any type of cancer, my love & thoughts go out to you, it’s a shit sandwich all round.
