Over four months and six doctor visits, Kelly’s symptoms, including a growing lump in her neck, swollen eyes, fatigue, and itchy skin, were initially dismissed as infections. After finally receiving a proper diagnosis, Kelly underwent six intense cycles of chemotherapy. Unfortunately, the treatment didn’t fully succeed, and she now faces the next phase of her fight: specialist radiation therapy at The Christie NHS Foundation Trust in Manchester.
