It turned out that the 16-year-old girl’s voice change and cough, which were mistaken for flu symptoms, were symptoms of lymphatic system cancer. He told the incident daily mail.
British woman Maddie Elleby was not feeling well in 2021, when she was only 16 years old. Both he and the doctors confused these symptoms with the flu. He was later prescribed antibiotics, but the medication did not help his cough and he also developed numbness in his arm and a swelling in his collarbone. Also, the girl’s voice changed: in her opinion, it began to resemble the cry of a seagull.
After X-rays, ultrasounds and tests on his neck, he was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma, a cancer of the lymphatic system. In this disease, infection-fighting B lymphocytes (a special subtype of white blood cells) begin to multiply uncontrollably and accumulate in the lymph nodes, causing them to enlarge. Symptoms include persistent cough, fever, night sweats and weight loss.
From February to July 2021, the girl underwent chemotherapy, and doctors concluded that she was healthy. But the cancer soon returned and he had to undergo two more courses of chemotherapy. In May 2022, the girl was given immunotherapy medication and then underwent a stem cell transplant. The 18-year-old girl is cancer-free, two years after she was diagnosed. He or she will be tested every three months for a year, then every six months for three years.
