“It was not a shock. I was so happy to be diagnosed. The diagnosis didn’t come until I began chemotherapy.

In the month of March 2022 Hannah went skiing and began to experience back and chest pains and was later diagnosed with pneumonia.
The doctors provided Hannah an x-ray, as well as an CT scan. She was examined upon her return. The following day, she was informed that she was suffering from cancer. This was in the day of April Fool’s Day 2022.
Hannah stated that the tumour was located in my left lung. It covered three-quarters my lung.
“We discovered that I was in stage four. I was so glad that they could figure out the reason for my condition.’
Initially, doctors believed the possibility that Hannah suffered from cancer of the lung. They conducted a biopsy and, three weeks later, Hannah had been diagnosed as having Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma which is the most prevalent type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

The initial diagnosis was the possibility that Hannah had lung cancer. They performed a biopsy, and, three weeks later, Hannah received a diagnosis of Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, the most commonly diagnosed type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Hannah was accepted into the clinical trial in which she received immunotherapy, a non-invasive drug.
Instead of chemotherapy, this drug is more non-invasive and helps the immune system to recognize and destroy cancerous cells.
She told me: ‘At my mid-point scan, my tumor was shrinking by 80%.
“By the end of September 2022, when I completed my chemotherapy and all cancer had gone, which was unusual.
“I am the only one in the UK who has all their non-Hodgkin’s cancer eliminated with chemotherapy by itself.’
Hannah was allowed to travel in October 20, 2022. She also has CT scanning every twelve weeks, to look for signs of cancer. Photograph Hannah and her husband in Turkey

Hannah is due to tie the knot on the 16th of September, 2023.
Hannah stated: ‘My spouse told me that I could go on an itinerary trip when I’m done with my immunotherapy. I would like to do another after I’d completed my chemotherapy and another when I had the all-clear.
“The first trip we took was to Turkey It was amazing . Then the next trip we took went towards visit the Arctic circular in January.
It’s possible to put it on your bucket list. You can travel while going through treatment . You just need be prepared and ensure you’re near hospitals in case things fail.’
The couple will travel in The Philippines in May before heading to Antarctica to celebrate their honeymoon in January 2024.
In her advice to others suffering from cancer her advice was to get another opinion. I’ve been to the same doctor each and every time. I’m sure that had I taken a different path, I would be diagnosed much earlier.
“I saw a doctor 3-4 times a week . I was desperate.
If you believe there’s something wrong, seek an appointment or an additional opinion from a different doctor.’
