Living the life I survived for

Living and working in the Galapogos, Mollie was living her dream life, but she was concerned about a growing number of health issues. A last-minute decision to go back home to see family ended up saving her life. Within hours of landing in the UK she was in A&E and tests resulted in a diagnosis of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. In this podcast, Mollie talks about the struggles of intense chemotherapy, repeated infections, side effects, late effects and fertility. Her lymphoma experience has resulted in a complete change in her life, but one she embraces with the same energy and enthusiasm she has with everything in life.

Lymphoma Voices is a series of podcasts for people living with lymphoma, and their family and friends. In each podcast, we are in conversation with an expert in their field, or someone who has been personally affected by lymphoma, who shares their thoughts and experiences.

Lymphoma Action is the only charity in the UK dedicated to supporting people affected by lymphoma. We are here to make sure that everyone affected by the condition receives the best possible information, support, treatment and care. Our services include a Freephone helpline, support group network, Buddy Service, medical information, conferences for those affected by lymphoma, and education and training for healthcare professionals. We would like to thank all of our incredible supporters whose generous donations enable us to offer all our essential support services free of charge. As an organisation we do not receive any government or NHS funding and so every penny received is truly valued. From everyone at Lymphoma Action and on behalf of those affected by lymphoma, thank you. For further information visit: www.lymphoma-action.org.uk
