A young Scottish student graduated during the middle of lockdown and was looking forward to the next chapter in his life, when he got life-changing news. Gonzalo Gill was devastated to discover he had stage-four blood cancer after medics found his lymph nodes were flamed.
The Edinburgh man said he could see the concern on the doctor's face before he got the devastating diagnosis, leaving him filled with anxiety, reports Edinburgh Live. Gonzalo had been to see his GP twice and then to an ear, nose and throat (ENT) specialist for a biopsy.
This revealed that Gonzalo had Hodgkin’s lymphoma and needed to start treatment immediately. Having just graduated from the University of Edinburgh with a degree in physics, Gonzalo also had the huge stress of a two-week wait between finding out he had cancer and waiting to see an oncologist to find out his prognosis.
