A 38-year-old music executive at TikTok, Govind Sandhu, has been diagnosed with stage 4 non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
Sandhu, previously feeling extremely healthy, has expressed his shock at the diagnosis and the beginning of his health journey through chemotherapy treatment.
After participating in extreme fitness activities like ultra-marathons and intense training, he received the devastating news following a marathon in Sydney.
Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma affects the lymph nodes causing abnormal growth of white blood cells that can develop into tumors throughout the body.
Experiencing flu-like symptoms, pain, and night sweats, Sandhu visited a doctor where the cancer was discovered.
Sharing his experience on social media, Sandhu encourages others to prioritize their health by getting regular check-ups and blood tests.
Now undergoing chemotherapy treatment, Sandhu remains positive and grateful for the care he is receiving at Saint Vincent’s Private Hospital.
While he hasn’t shared his prognosis, the survival rates for non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma vary between 57% to 86% according to medical sources.
