A woman who visited the doctors to investigate a 'cancer scare' was left red-faced when she had to admit the lump was actually a love bite. Annabel Fisher was referred to a specialist after she found a 'rock-solid' bruised mass about the size of a 50p coin.
'Freaked-out' Annabel, from the Limestone Coast, South Australia, forked out around $400 (£225) on tests and soon doctors confirmed her 'weird' lump wasn't cancer and was in fact made up of dead cells formed after 'trauma'.
While she was waiting for results, Annabel remembered a 'friend' had given her a 'love bite' or 'hickey' in the exact same spot two months earlier - and she was forced to admit the racy truth to laughing specialists who told her the love bite had caused a bruise and a circle of breast tissue to turn 'necrotic', or dead.
