A woman who claims she was dismissed by doctors as being 'too young' to have cancer has been forced to have her breast removed aged 23 as she battles the disease.
Alicia Mcgoogan said she started feeling pain and discomfort in her right breast in December 2021, which she thought was just from her time of the month.
But when her nipple started leaking a yellow-sticky discharge she booked an appointment with her GP and was eventually transferred to the breast clinic at Burnley General Teaching Hospital.
