A nurse found out she had cancer after her husband jokingly told her she ‘looked like a minion’ after a shower - because her skin had changed colour.
Becki Buggs’ skin had become jaundiced, which encouraged her to get checked. The 43-year-old was then diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and had to have the same operation to remove the cancer as she prepares her patients for - as an NHS theatre nurse.
The mum-of-two said she was 'completely devastated' when doctors diagnosed her with cancer as her job required her to be the reassuring voice telling patients that everything would be okay.
