A mum who felt a "strange and sudden" twinge while she was relaxing at home with her young son has shared her devastation after she was told she had cancer. Victoria Knowles initially thought the small lump she felt on her rib cage was going to be a cyst as she had no history of breast cancer in her family, but she was later given the scary diagnosis.
Victoria, 46, said she went to feel for the bump, which was near her bra line, the next day after first discovering it, but couldn't locate it. However, a week later, the strange sensation she felt previously had returned.
Concerned about what she was experiencing, Victoria, who is from Wigan but lives in London, went to get the lump checked out. After a mammogram, she noticed there were "whispers" between doctors as they looked at her scans.
