Diagnosed with Stage 4 follicular lymphoma at the age of 45, Meta's Nicola Mendelsohn overcame the darkest moments of her life, fought back and now helps others through her international Follicular Lymphoma Foundation and a Facebook support group.
A social media honcho and mum-of-four, Nicola Mendelsohn’s life was in full swing in 2016 when she unexpectedly discovered a pea-sized lump at her groin while showering.
“It was very, very emotional. And I literally couldn’t get the words out physically. I’ll never forget that. And so my husband took my hand and sort of explained it to the children. And it was a horrible thing to see their faces and how they reacted. On that first day of chemotherapy, and the three days after chemotherapy, Mendelsohn continued working. But on day four, five and six, the side effects hit her really hard.
The social media honcho worked through chemotherapy. “If I had nothing else to think about, my mind would go to bad places,” she said.
