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.

FEATURE - Mensch und Tier: Hund Lexie heilt Molly Anderton von Depression und Essstörung
Molly and her mum, Leslie, in 2017 (Collect/PA Real Life). *** Teenager who was hospitalised for nine months with
crippling depression and an eating disorder is training to be
a doctor - thanks to her sausage dog
By Harriet Bullough, PA Real Life
A teenager who was hospitalised for nine months because of cripp ling depression and a
dangerous eating disorder is training to be a doctor - thanks to her one-year-old sausage
dog.
Just 17 months since she left inpatient care, Molly Anderton, 19, is starting a degree in
medicine at Edge Hill University in Ormskirk, Lancashire - claiming she passed the gruelling
online interviews as she had her pet pooch, Lexie, perched on her lap.
Molly, who lives with her loss adjustor mum, Leslie Andrew, 52, a single parent, in
Warrington, Cheshire, said: Lexie gave me the confidence to pursue medicine.
If it wasnt for her, I dont think I would have been able to. She was at every interview, as
they were online because of Covid, so she was hiding on my lap, keeping me calm.
Battling severe depression since she was 13 - exacerbated by the death of her beloved gran,
Susie, 86, soon after she started secondary school - by May 2019, Molly was so poorly she
was hospitalised.
Recognising that her depression was cumulative, she said: "It wasnt caused by just one
event.
It was tough when I moved to secondary school. I struggled to make friends and I didnt
know anyone, so I felt really lonely.
Then my grandma passed away and it was just a really hard time. Dealing with it all alone, I
didnt have any friends to turn to.
Acutely shy, as her feelings became more unmanageable, Molly tried to take back control
through compulsive behaviour - restricting her food and exercising obsessively.
But, by February 2019, she admits she had become a danger to herself and was admitted to
Ellern Mede Ridgeway, a north London inpatient centre specialising in the treatment of
eating disorders.
It was a tough time, she said.

dangerous eating disorder is training to be a doctor - thanks to her one-year-old sausage
dog.
Just 17 months since she left inpatient care, Molly Anderton, 19, is starting a degree in
medicine at Edge Hill University in Ormskirk, Lancashire - claiming she passed the gruelling
online interviews as she had her pet pooch, Lexie, perched on her lap.
Molly, who lives with her loss adjustor mum, Leslie Andrew, 52, a single parent, in
Warrington, Cheshire, said: Lexie gave me the confidence to pursue medicine.
If it wasnt for her, I dont think I would have been able to. She was at every interview, as
they were online because of Covid, so she was hiding on my lap, keeping me calm.
Battling severe depression since she was 13 - exacerbated by the death of her beloved gran,
Susie, 86, soon after she started secondary school - by May 2019, Molly was so poorly she
was hospitalised.
Recognising that her depression was cumulative, she said: "It wasnt caused by just one
event.
It was tough when I moved to secondary school. I struggled to make friends and I didnt
know anyone, so I felt really lonely.
Then my grandma passed away and it was just a really hard time. Dealing with it all alone, I
didnt have any friends to turn to.
Acutely shy, as her feelings became more unmanageable, Molly tried to take back control
through compulsive behaviour - restricting her food and exercising obsessively.
But, by February 2019, she admits she had become a danger to herself and was admitted to
Ellern Mede Ridgeway, a north London inpatient centre specialising in the treatment of
eating disorders.
It was a tough time, she said.

SCHICKSALE - Er liebt ihn wie einen Bruder: Labrador Olli und der autistische George geniessen eine besondere Verbindung
George and Ollie (PA Real Life/Collect) *** Mum opens up about the moving bond between her autistic son and his specially
trained golden Labrador
By Harriet Whitehead, PA Real Life
A mum has given a moving account of the amazing bond between her autistic son and
the specially trained golden Labrador he calls his 'wonder dog' and loves like a
brother.
Soon after their son, George, 10, was diagnosed with autism and Attention Deficit
Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in 2016, fundraising consultant Anna Roche, 47, and
Gordon Mitchell, 45, who works in IT, adopted the canny canine to help him.
Now the relationship between the boy and his four-legged best friend is "astonishing,"
according to Anna, of Maidenhead, Berkshire, who said: George loves Ollie more
than anything in the world and sees him as a sibling. They are always side by side.
Ollie helps regulate him and keep him safe. He will corral him like a sheepdog and
round him up if he runs off which he often does!
Anna, who plans to leave work and care for George full-time, and Gordon adopted
Ollie, now six, from a charity called Woofability, which is sadly now defunct.
We met a couple of dogs, but the charity paired Ollie with George because he was
energetic," said Anna.
He was this young, tiny, energetic thing, but he also had this calming effect, which
comes naturally to Labradors. He was loving and nurturing, and boy and dog quickly
became best pals.
Although George is fearless, he was nervous of dogs until he met Ollie. As soon as
he saw him, he was cuddling up to him.
Every day Ollie accompanies George on the 10 minute drive to sch ool and says
goodbye at the gates, before being there to meet him at the end of the day where he
laps up the attention from the other children, who all give him cuddles.
Being greeted by Ollie at the end of each day makes George really happy," said
Anna. "The welcome you get from a dog is second to none.
Hes just so happy to see George, which helps with se

George and Ollie (PA Real Life/Collect) *** Mum opens up about the moving bond between her autistic son and his specially
trained golden Labrador
By Harriet Whitehead, PA Real Life
A mum has given a moving account of the amazing bond between her autistic son and
the specially trained golden Labrador he calls his 'wonder dog' and loves like a
brother.
Soon after their son, George, 10, was diagnosed with autism and Attention Deficit
Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in 2016, fundraising consultant Anna Roche, 47, and
Gordon Mitchell, 45, who works in IT, adopted the canny canine to help him.
Now the relationship between the boy and his four-legged best friend is "astonishing,"
according to Anna, of Maidenhead, Berkshire, who said: George loves Ollie more
than anything in the world and sees him as a sibling. They are always side by side.
Ollie helps regulate him and keep him safe. He will corral him like a sheepdog and
round him up if he runs off which he often does!
Anna, who plans to leave work and care for George full-time, and Gordon adopted
Ollie, now six, from a charity called Woofability, which is sadly now defunct.
We met a couple of dogs, but the charity paired Ollie with George because he was
energetic," said Anna.
He was this young, tiny, energetic thing, but he also had this calming effect, which
comes naturally to Labradors. He was loving and nurturing, and boy and dog quickly
became best pals.
Although George is fearless, he was nervous of dogs until he met Ollie. As soon as
he saw him, he was cuddling up to him.
Every day Ollie accompanies George on the 10 minute drive to sch ool and says
goodbye at the gates, before being there to meet him at the end of the day where he
laps up the attention from the other children, who all give him cuddles.
Being greeted by Ollie at the end of each day makes George really happy," said
Anna. "The welcome you get from a dog is second to none.

SCHICKSALE - Er liebt ihn wie einen Bruder: Labrador Olli und der autistische George geniessen eine besondere Verbindung
Ollie (PA Real Life/Collect) *** Mum opens up about the moving bond between her autistic son and his specially
trained golden Labrador
By Harriet Whitehead, PA Real Life
A mum has given a moving account of the amazing bond between her autistic son and
the specially trained golden Labrador he calls his 'wonder dog' and loves like a
brother.
Soon after their son, George, 10, was diagnosed with autism and Attention Deficit
Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in 2016, fundraising consultant Anna Roche, 47, and
Gordon Mitchell, 45, who works in IT, adopted the canny canine to help him.
Now the relationship between the boy and his four-legged best friend is "astonishing,"
according to Anna, of Maidenhead, Berkshire, who said: George loves Ollie more
than anything in the world and sees him as a sibling. They are always side by side.
Ollie helps regulate him and keep him safe. He will corral him like a sheepdog and
round him up if he runs off which he often does!
Anna, who plans to leave work and care for George full-time, and Gordon adopted
Ollie, now six, from a charity called Woofability, which is sadly now defunct.
We met a couple of dogs, but the charity paired Ollie with George because he was
energetic," said Anna.
He was this young, tiny, energetic thing, but he also had this calming effect, which
comes naturally to Labradors. He was loving and nurturing, and boy and dog quickly
became best pals.
Although George is fearless, he was nervous of dogs until he met Ollie. As soon as
he saw him, he was cuddling up to him.
Every day Ollie accompanies George on the 10 minute drive to sch ool and says
goodbye at the gates, before being there to meet him at the end of the day where he
laps up the attention from the other children, who all give him cuddles.
Being greeted by Ollie at the end of each day makes George really happy," said
Anna. "The welcome you get from a dog is second to none.
Hes just so happy to see George, which helps with self -esteem.
