In 2021, Didcot Town boss Jamie Heapy found out he had mantle cell lymphoma which affects around 600 people a year in the UK.
Mr Heapy said: "To be honest I thought I'd cracked a rib or broke a rib or something because I might have caught it on the scaffold tube or knocked it against something and I went home to Lydia and said 'I just feel a bit.... something's not quite right'.After being diagnosed, he underwent months of gruelling treatment before being told he could leave hospital.
As soon as he felt better, he was back on the sideline, leading Didcot Town to promotion in his first full season back. He is now in remission.Dallas Pounds, director of services at Lymphoma Action, said: "The symptoms can be wide ranging and can feel quite vague and we can put them down to other things that are happening in our life.
"Maybe we overdid it at the gym, maybe we're working a bit hard. But really listen to your body, make some notes and go and seek some medical support."Temperatures that come and go with no obvious causeMantle cell lymphoma can spread to the bowel and in rare cases to the stomach. If this happens, it can cause symptoms such as diarrhoea, tummy pain and sickness.
