When Janice Wheeler discovered a lump under her right jaw, she thought it was a blocked saliva gland. She ignored it, and it seemed to go away. One year later the lump reappeared and this time she went to her GP who referred her to hospital for a biopsy. The diagnosis of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma came as a shock to her but, unlike King Hussein of Jordan, who succumbed to the disease on Sunday after many attempts at treatment, two years after chemotherapy Janice remains well and free of disease.
