Summary
A 21-year-old woman likely had COVID in November 2020, with pneumonia and a small pulmonary embolism, and felt back to normal after about six weeks. From April 2021 a neck lump appeared; from late May she had swollen lymph nodes, an enlarged spleen, extreme fatigue and low-grade fever. A painful cough, shortness of breath and chest and back pain set in that August, with scans and blood tests showing nothing; she was seeing a hematologist about whether a lymph node biopsy was needed to rule out lymphoma.
