'Doctors ignored unusual change to my body – then I was given devastating news' A woman has shared the unusual warning sign she spotted that was ignored by doctors before a devastating breast cancer diagnosis.
Hailing from Essex but now calling Northern Ireland home, Sam's subsequent ultrasound and biopsy confirmed her fears and she was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer.
"So what I always say to people is, you are not specifically looking for a pea-sized lump, it is any change in your breast or chest that doesn't feel normal, anything that you can feel under the palm of your hand.".
Sharing her ordeal with Surrey Live, she explained: "It wasn't the sort of pea-sized lump that most had talked about so I put it down to hormone changes and hoped it would settle.
"When I was talking to the doctors they kept saying it is hormonal and don't worry about it but of course it was getting bigger and bigger and it was getting long.
