A nurse only discovered she had cancer after her husband joked she 'looked like a minion' when she came out the shower - because her skin had turned yellow. Becki Buggs, 43, was 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.
The mum-of-two has said she was 'completely devastated' when she was diagnosed as normally people to go to her to reassure them that everything will be okay. Becki, from Colchester, Essex, said: “Everything was adding up to the fact that it was not going to be a good diagnosis.
"It didn’t make it any easier. In fact, it made it harder for me to tell people because I'm the person that they normally look to, to reassure them that everything's going to be okay. I couldn't do that this time because I was completely devastated myself.”
