A STUDENT who was told her tiredness was 'teenage problems' was later given a devastating cancer diagnosis.
Georgia Kennedy was enjoying her first years of university in Manchester completely unaware she had two common symptoms of a serious illness.
Georgia was a keen trampoline gymnast and coach, alongside having a busy social life. But her tiredness got the better of her and she had to cut down on her activities. Georgia also spotted a suspicious lump on her neck.
She says it all 'made sense' when she was later diagnosed with a life-threatening form of cancer.
Georgia, now 21, said: "I had tiredness since I was about 15. I never had an X-ray taken, I had ECGs, echoes, stress tests, sleep studies. I thought I had narcolepsy. I was told it was 'teenage problems' and that I'd get over it.
"I was a tired teenager compared to my friends. When I was diagnosed it made sense." Georgi chemo In October 2022, Georgia developed a cough which led to her going to hospital and being diagnosed with lymphoma.
