Mum discovered she had cancer after husband joked she 'looked like a minion'

Becki Buggs, 43, noticed that her skin had turned yellow when she came out the shower. She was later diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and had the same operation to remove the cancer as she prepares patients for in her job as an NHS theatre nurse.
