'I don't think I'll ever forget sitting in a hospital bed and them telling me the diagnosis.'
Libby initially put her symptoms down to stress A young woman is raising awareness of blood cancer after mistakenly thinking she was suffering from university stress – only to be given a devastating lymphoma diagnosis. Libby Sunter, now 20, had been feeling tired and experiencing symptoms like dizziness, shortness of breath, night sweats, itching, and sore limbs, but put the issues down to her intense musical theatre course.
‘It was quite scary because I still didn’t think anything of it,’ she added. At this point Libby was diagnosed with anaemia, but a persistent high temperature, lack of appetite, and fatigue so bad she ‘couldn’t even stand up’ caused her to go back for a second opinion. Cancer was then confirmed by a biopsy, with doctors saying they believed it had been ‘growing and growing’ for around a year.
