Dani Link went to the doctor with a sore throat and was diagnosed with cancer

young woman who went to the doctor for a sore throat discovered she actually had a deadly cancer that quickly spread from her lymph nodes to her bones, stomach, and ovaries.

Dani Link, who came to Australia from Ontario, Canada, in 2019, was living in Byron Bay with her boyfriend Jack for little more than a year in February when she started getting sick.


Thinking it was the flu or tonsillitis that was going around the coastal NSW town, the 24-year-old went to the GP and took a range of different antibiotics for about a month - before a lump formed in her neck and started to grow.

Following a series of scans and biopsies, Dani received the heartbreaking news last week that her sore throat was caused by Burkitt lymphoma - a fast-moving cancer that usually affects children and people over 60.

'I originally had a gut feeling that everything would be all right - that I things weren't over for me, but I've had to accept that this is life-threatening,' she said.

'It's been a heavy week.'

Dani was admitted to Tweed Heads hospital immediately for her first round of chemotherapy to stop the disease from spreading beyond the four areas already affected, which will end in 11 days.
