In her words:
"After numerous visits to multiple doctors, I was left without a real explanation or solution. Instead, I was reassured that I was “young and healthy” and encouraged to get more sleep and take more vitamins."
She said after four years, her immune system and physical condition continued to worsen.
In 2020, she underwent an open biopsy which confirmed she had Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.
The battle
@elsie_igb wouldn't allow cancer to see the end of her and she fought till she gave the disease a bloody nose.
