Mags felt off for months before her stage 4 non Hodgkin lymphoma diagnosis, including migraines, fatigue, a lingering cough and odd arm swelling. But she never thought her symptoms would be a sign of cancer until she was diagnosed with stage 4 primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma (PMBL), a rare type of lymphoma.
In this cancer vlog, Mags opens up about how she processed her cancer diagnosis, her treatment plan and how she got through her chemotherapy side effects.
