when i was a lil nipper of about 12 maybe 13, i found a lump on me left shoulder - showed it me mum and we went to hospital, spent an hour or so waiting in the a+e and then went to see a nursey/doctor person.
turned out to be a lyphoma - however you spell it, went and had emergency surgery and had it removed the same day. Tests showed that it wasn't a spreading one but was growing at an alarming rate where it was
all i have to show for it now is a nice scar on me shoulder - luckily!!!
nasty thing it is - there should be a cure for it - but there probably won't for years
and yes, i am on the lean side weight wise
