I've been diagnosed with non Hodgkin's lymphoma , my thyroid has turned rogue and grown retrosternal into my chest , it's filling my chest cavity and pushing my trachea over making it extremely difficult to breath ,prompt intervention is the order of the day steroids a must equine doses .scans galore and the big guns chemotherapy , first round started 5 more to go .

You must all look after yourselves any symptoms out of the ordinary don't ignore , I thought my symptoms were stress related , they were nothing to the stress I feel now .
