A Skegness community support officer who is in remission from Lymphoma cancer says she has received so much support from the local community and fellow colleagues since her return.Several months prior to her diagnosis, PCSO Collins had been having issues in her lower back, and began noticing that she was unable to do as much as she once did.
“This was the first time I saw a medical professional. Due to the length of time, I had the cough some six to eight weeks. I was then sent for an X-ray but didn’t think it would come back with anything. I thought the constant wearing of masks was a possible reason for the cough. She added: “I could barely walk, managing a few steps before collapsing out of breath. My face, neck and chest swelled up to the size of various-sized balls such as tennis and cricket. I looked like a puffer fish. This was the cancer targeting my lymph nodes.”
PCSO Collins added: “The subsequent sessions were like the old Pacman game where it goes round eating the little ghosts. For me Pacman was the chemo and the ghosts the cancer cells. It was going around eating all the cancer and making sure that on the 4 February 2022, I got to ring the bell signalling the end of the treatment.”
“Recovery is a whole new journey, which started on 28 March 2022. However, I am one of the lucky ones who gets to experience it. Recovery takes time – the only guidance I have is for every cycle of chemo it takes the body about two months to recover. The hardest part is allowing my body the time to recover and admitting to myself I can’t do everything I used to, yet.
“We take a TV for granted until we are suddenly without one, and the ward is one of those places where TVs were not present. There was no distraction from pain or treatment. The only thing in the rooms was a clock positioned at the end of the bed, counting down the time and reminding you what day it is.
