Hielt ihre Beschwerden für Covid: Bei der 27jährigen Evgenia aus London wurde eine aggressive Krebsart diagnostiziert

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.
