It took Me YEARS to get a Cancer Diagnosis | Leanne's Lymphoma Story | The Patient Story

Leanne had a high-stress career with long hours when she started feeling fatigued all the time. After a cough and abdominal pain led to a series of doctor's visits, she was eventually diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

In this story, Leanne shares how it took almost two years to get a diagnosis, all thanks to a GP trainee who looked at her symptoms holistically, the challenges of processing her diagnosis and how she confronted her doctor who first dismissed her symptoms.

The interview has only been edited for clarity.
