Hielt ihre Beschwerden für Covid: Bei der 27jährigen Evgenia aus London wurde eine aggressive Krebsart diagnostiziert

WORDS BYLINE: Deborah Cicurel
For months, she brushed off the symptoms. The nagging pain in her shoulder blade, an irritating cough, and relentless fatigue all seemed like nothing serious.
But when Evgenia’s pain worsened, her energy drained, and a mysterious rash appeared, she knew something wasn’t right.
“I didn't really think that anything was going wrong until I really started feeling the pain in the shoulder blade getting more and more intense,” the 27-year-old says.
“I started coughing at some point as well, and this is when I thought maybe I’d got Covid. I didn't really pay much attention to it.
“Then it started getting really bad and I wouldn't be able to speak. I would cough all the time, and it really interfered with my day-to-day stuff.”
In March 2023 she decided to seek help. At first, doctors were unconcerned. An MRI of her neck revealed nothing alarming - except, by sheer luck, a small glimpse of a lump lower in her chest.
Evgenia, 25 at the time, was referred to a lung specialist but the appointment was delayed. Precious weeks ticked by before she could get further tests.
By the time she underwent a biopsy in July, her condition had deteriorated significantly.
The persistent cough made speaking difficult, everyday tasks left her exhausted, and what had started as a vague discomfort had become an overwhelming burden.
Then came the words no one ever expects to hear: Stage 4 lymphoma.
“I had a feeling before that I might have cancer,” Evgenia, from London, remembers. “I think actually knowing the diagnosis is much better than not knowing it.
“Of course I was upset and I couldn't believe the diagnosis for a bit, and I was like, ‘This cannot be happening to me. Why me?’
“But in a way it was a relief: when you don't know your diagnosis yet, you feel super frustrated because you know that you are getting worse and worse every day.

SCHICKSALE - Diagnose Dickdarmkrebs: Bodybuilderin Ann-Sofie Byberg aus Schweden musste sich einer Stoma-OP unterziehen

WORDS BYLINE: Andrea Caknis
Bodybuilder Ann-Sofie Byberg, 55, refuses to let colon cancer or a life-changing stoma operation keep her from the stage.
The Swedish athlete, who has spent years sculpting her body into peak condition, was given the devastating news in early 2024 that she had stage 4 colon cancer.
But instead of letting the diagnosis define her, Ann-Sofie is proving that nothingónot even major surgeryócan stop her from fighting.
ìThe first signsÖ well, we were on a long holiday in Turkey, but after only two weeks, I had real problems going to the toilet,î she recalls.
ìI tried everything, but nothing worked. After three weeks, I could only drink. We decided to fly home because something was really wrong.î
Back in Sweden, doctors confirmed her worst fears.
ìIn January 2024, I got the answer: I had a 10cm tumour growing into my vagina. Stage 4 colon cancer,î she says.
ìThousands of questions rushed through my head. Am I going to live? What happens now? My husband and I talked about different scenarios, trying to prepare ourselves for what was coming. There were many tears.î
The battle started immediately. By March 2024, Ann-Sofie underwent surgery to receive a colostomy, and by April, she was enduring 27 days of chemotherapy and radiation. She describes the treatments as brutal, admitting that even for someone as physically strong as her, the pain was almost unbearable.
ìI can honestly say that my stomaómy ëlife bagíówas the smallest problem,î she says.
ìThe chemo and radiation, that was really hard. Not at first, but as the weeks went on, I couldnít move. My world shrank. By June, I was bedridden, and everything below was a mess. I had inflammation in my bladder, so much pain. I was on over 50mg of morphine three times a day.î
Radiation didnít just damage the tumouróit also severely affected her healthy organs, leaving her with large holes between her vagina and colon. Now, she is facing another major o *** Loca

The Swedish athlete, who has spent years sculpting her body into peak condition, was given the devastating news in early 2024 that she had stage 4 colon cancer.
But instead of letting the diagnosis define her, Ann-Sofie is proving that nothingónot even major surgeryócan stop her from fighting.
ìThe first signsÖ well, we were on a long holiday in Turkey, but after only two weeks, I had real problems going to the toilet,î she recalls.
ìI tried everything, but nothing worked. After three weeks, I could only drink. We decided to fly home because something was really wrong.î
Back in Sweden, doctors confirmed her worst fears.
ìIn January 2024, I got the answer: I had a 10cm tumour growing into my vagina. Stage 4 colon cancer,î she says.
ìThousands of questions rushed through my head. Am I going to live? What happens now? My husband and I talked about different scenarios, trying to prepare ourselves for what was coming. There were many tears.î
The battle started immediately. By March 2024, Ann-Sofie underwent surgery to receive a colostomy, and by April, she was enduring 27 days of chemotherapy and radiation. She describes the treatments as brutal, admitting that even for someone as physically strong as her, the pain was almost unbearable.
ìI can honestly say that my stomaómy ëlife bagíówas the smallest problem,î she says.

SCHICKSALE - Babywunsch geht in Erfüllung: Emma Davis nennt ihr Kind aus Dankbarkeit nach der behandelnden Ärztin Grace
Willow Grace holding Emma's hand. PA REAL LIFE *** Marathon runner who needed fertility treatment after
cervical cancer at 31 names baby born following a
single round of IVF after her doctors
By Jessica Frank-Keyes, PA Real Life
A marathon runner who needed fertility treatment after harrowing surgery for cervical
cancer at just 31 has named her miracle baby after her IVF doctor.
Emma Davis, 39, had just run the London Marathon in April 2013 when abnormal bleeding
in between periods alerted her to other unusual symptoms, prompting her to see her GP.
A local childrens services officer for the council, Emma had missed a cervical smear and,
also experiencing back pain, weight loss, abnormal discharge and bleeding after sex, she
was referred to a specialist.
Needing extensive surgery to remove her cervix and lymph nodes after cancer was
diagnosed, Emma and her now husband, Rob, 43, a YMCA charity worker, sought help
after two years of failing to fall pregnant.
Now proud parents to Willow Grace, 11 weeks, conceived after a single round of IVF,
Emma, who lives near Gatwick Airport, West Sussex, said: After falling pregnant on our
first round of IVF, we just felt so incredibly lucky.
We called our baby Grace after our doctors, but her name also represents a message of
hope to us.
She is our miracle baby and I sing You Are My Sunshine to her every day, as she really
is our ray of sunshine after some very grey times.
Emma received her shocking cancer diagnosis after running the Lo ndon marathon in April
2013, when some abnormal bleeding caused her to consider other strange symptoms she
had been experiencing, ranging from weight loss to bleeding after sex.
I thought, This just isnt right, and saw my GP, she said.
They did my screening there and then and the nurse told me she thought she could see a
polyp.
Referred through the NHS two-week cancer pathway, Emma was seen at the womens

Baby Willow Grace in the hospital crib. PA REAL LIFE *** Marathon runner who needed fertility treatment after
cervical cancer at 31 names baby born following a
single round of IVF after her doctors
By Jessica Frank-Keyes, PA Real Life
A marathon runner who needed fertility treatment after harrowing surgery for cervical
cancer at just 31 has named her miracle baby after her IVF doctor.
Emma Davis, 39, had just run the London Marathon in April 2013 when abnormal bleeding
in between periods alerted her to other unusual symptoms, prompting her to see her GP.
A local childrens services officer for the council, Emma had missed a cervical smear and,
also experiencing back pain, weight loss, abnormal discharge and bleeding after sex, she
was referred to a specialist.
Needing extensive surgery to remove her cervix and lymph nodes after cancer was
diagnosed, Emma and her now husband, Rob, 43, a YMCA charity worker, sought help
after two years of failing to fall pregnant.
Now proud parents to Willow Grace, 11 weeks, conceived after a single round of IVF,
Emma, who lives near Gatwick Airport, West Sussex, said: After falling pregnant on our
first round of IVF, we just felt so incredibly lucky.
We called our baby Grace after our doctors, but her name also represents a message of
hope to us.
She is our miracle baby and I sing You Are My Sunshine to her every day, as she really
is our ray of sunshine after some very grey times.
Emma received her shocking cancer diagnosis after running the Lo ndon marathon in April
2013, when some abnormal bleeding caused her to consider other strange symptoms she

Now proud parents to Willow Grace, 11 weeks, conceived after a single round of IVF,
Emma, who lives near Gatwick Airport, West Sussex, said: After falling pregnant on our
first round of IVF, we just felt so incredibly lucky.
We called our baby Grace after our doctors, but her name also represents a message of
hope to us.
She is our miracle baby and I sing You Are My Sunshine to her every day, as she really
is our ray of sunshine after some very grey times.
Emma received her shocking cancer diagnosis after running the Lo ndon marathon in April
2013, when some abnormal bleeding caused her to consider other strange symptoms she
had been experiencing, ranging from weight loss to bleeding after sex.
I thought, This just isnt right, and saw my GP, she said.
They did my screening there and then and the nurse told me she thought she could see a
polyp.
Referred through the NHS two-week cancer pathway, Emma was seen at the womens
clinic at Crawley Hospital, where a consultant told her he was shocked by her sym

SCHICKSALE - Kara Wedderburn Tochter Evie (3) verliert ihr rechtes Auge wegen eines Retinoplastoms
Evie with a radioactive plaque fitted to her eye. PA REAL LIFE COLLECT *** Devoted mum thought her three-year-olds blurry
eye was caused by a scratch from the family dog but
it was cancer causing her right eye to be removed
By Jessica Frank-Keyes, PA Real Life
A devoted mum whose three-year-old daughter had her right eye removed when what she
thought was a minor injury caused by a scratch from the family dog was in fact cancer,
says the news ripped our world apart.
Little Evie Wedderburn was just one in January 2020 when she was diagnosed with
retinoblastoma a rare type of eye cancer normally affecting children under five.
Despite gruelling chemotherapy and radiotherapy, she developed more tumours,
according to her mum, Kara Wedderburn, 25, forcing her to have her eye surgical ly
removed earlier this month.
Now stay-at-home mum Kara, who lives in East Ord, Berwick-upon-Tweed,
Northumberland, with her husband Ryan, 28, a financial planning assistant, and their
daughters Evie and Olivia, one, said: Being told she had cancer was just devastating.
I was pregnant with Evies sister, Olivia, when she was diagnosed, and we felt like our
world had been ripped apart.
Evie was absolutely fine in herself that was what was so frustrating. We had no idea
what the signs were or what to be looking for, but wed never even heard of
retinoblastoma.
Former teaching assistant Kara first noticed a white glow to Evies right eye in December
2019.
She said: At a certain angle, there was a white coating on Evies right eye.
Our Labrador Callie had recently scratched her forehead accidentally and we thought
she could have caught her eye on her paw.
When it failed to clear at the beginning of January, Kara took Evie to the GP, who quickly
referred her to the Royal Victoria Infirmary, in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, Tyne and Wear,
from where, within days, she was sent to Birmingham Childrens Hospital.
Kara said: Wed never heard of retinoblastoma and we were being told she w
