A student who thought her cough and large lump below her neck was just freshers flu was stunned to discover she actually had blood cancer.
Zara Barton, 19, said her skin started to become itchy last February but dismissed it as a stress rash from an 'upsetting break-up' or from boozing too much and was prescribed creams and antihistamines by doctors.
She put her persistent cough weight loss and a hard 2cm lump that appeared above her collarbone down to leading a 'typical student lifestyle'.
