TV presenter Sarah Cawood has revealed she is facing a potential second cancer diagnosis, just nine months after being diagnosed with breast cancer.
The 50-year-old has given a health update to her fans and followers on social media as she described finding another lump.
Flooded with good wishes from fans, Sarah revealed the lump isn't thought to be part of her original breast cancer but would be considered another "primary cancer".
Whilst she's undergoing tests including a mammogram to determine what the second lump is, she asked fans to send her luck as she waits to hear the news from her doctors.
Speaking on her Instagram stories, Sarah said: "I’ve found another lump. I went to the doctors and she could feel it too.
"It’s a different boob so it’s not a reoccurrence, it would be another primary cancer."
She added: "Once you’ve had cancer, you worry about it coming back all the time."
She also told fans she'd been "rushed through the system" after seeing her doctor about the second lump just last week.
Whilst she revealed she “hasn’t been as healthy as she could’ve been,” he reasoned: “You can’t cut out all the joy, can you?”
Fans have rushed in to send the star positive thoughts as she waits for news. One commented: "Sending big hugs tomorrow at 3pm. Positive thoughts all the way."
Another added: “Good luck tomorrow Sarah, hopefully, it’s nothing too sinister.”
"Thinking of you lovely one. Keep everything crossed for your appointment. Sending all the love," said a third.
Diagnosed with breast cancer in August last year, the red-haired presenter was left suffering sleepless nights after finding a lump that doctors told her wasn't just a cyst.
Revealing how she discovered the news, she told The Sun: "It was my first ever routine mammogram and I got a letter back saying they couldn’t give me my screening result back yet.
“So I had another mammogram and an ultrasound and then they said, ‘We’re going to biopsy you’. That’s where they take a bit of tissue from your boob.”
She was later told that the lump ins her breast was not just a cyst and feared the worst, worrying that it could be an aggressive form.
“I did the lying in bed at night, not watching my children grow up thing," Sarah said. "I always think cancer seems like a slow death. It’s like being chucked out of the party early.”
