Hi Its Your girl JA Nursing a few months back Body By Chosen held an event Called Pull Up For A purpose.
What was this all about well one of the Team members had Lymphoma and I'll be frank I applaud him for speaking up about this issue. Cancer on a whole is on a rise and with having lost My sister to Cancer in 2002 I am fully aware That CANCER has no boundaries no age and no Limits to who it strikes.
I have been honest with you all through my journey that the Goal will always be to help increase Knowledge it is one of the most important factors to illness prevention and management
It's important that all Canadians know the signs and symptoms of lymphoma because it can save your life. Signs and symptoms can be similar to other, less serious illnesses, making diagnosis sometimes challenging. Lymphoma is often misdiagnosed as a flu or fatigue. However an early diagnosis is important, because if untreated, some types of lymphoma can be fatal within a short period of time.
By knowing your nodes, you will better understand your lymphatic system, as well as know the signs and symptoms of lymphoma. If signs and symptoms are detected early, there is a better chance for quicker diagnosis, treatment and overall survival.
