Yeah, it went fine. I had Hodgkins, like 20+ years ago, it's very curable and (I didn't know at the time) occurs relatively often in young men. They fixed it. It's fun because I'm a walking example of why universal healthcare makes sense - even economic sense. I was a broke student, if healthcare cost money there's no way I'd have even gone to a doctor to ask about my weird symptoms - they weren't even really annoying, just it seemed like it's something doctors should check. If it cost money I'd have waited until I was in serious pain, at which point it's more likely they can't fix it or that if they can fix it the fix is really drastic.

I didn't stay a broke student. I got a job, bought a home, I became a productive (tax revenue generating) citizen, instead of a corpse as would happen with no healthcare.

What symptoms did you have?

Mostly swollen lymph nodes, which is also associated with: Any infection (even one you didn't notice along with common colds). But I noticed they had stayed like that for a while, which I thought was odd. It is odd, turns out it can mean you have Cancer. Of your lymphatic system.
