Über diesen Titel

 In our first episode Helen is the guest on her own podcast! She talks about how she felt when she got her diagnosis of Lymphoma, how the treatment affected her mentally and physically and how what she’s been through has changed her outlook on life.
Helen is really honest about her experience with cancer, and how while she’s managed to remain positive and is incredibly thankful to be here, there are also days when she doesn’t wake up feeling that way, and why that’s completely ok.
This is a raw, open, and sometimes extremely emotional chat about how it feels to go through cancer and come out of the other side. We hope this episode will help you if you’ve been through something similar to Helen or if you’re supporting someone with cancer or any other kind of major health issue.
As Helen says in this episode there are many different types of blood cancers and everyone’s symptoms will be slightly different, but some common blood cancer symptoms include:

  • Coughing or chest pain
  • Fever or chills
  • Frequent infections
  • Itchy skin or rash
  • Loss of appetite or nausea
  • Night sweats
  • Persistent weakness and fatigue
  • Shortness of breath
  • Swollen, painless lymph nodes in the neck, armpits, or groin
If you’re concerned please make an appointment with your GP immediately and if you need support here are some places that can help:

Helen would like to dedicate this episode to her lovely cousin Liz Harris. The book she wrote that Helen mentions is called “Skye and the Moonlit Garden”. You can buy a copy here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1838229825/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_NMN9HJ31XQ5E00HF3P11
