A 23-year-old barista was stunned when a lump she squeezed thinking it was a pimple after spotting it while getting dressed was in fact a fast growing cancerous tumour above her left breast. When the bump Siobhan Harrison tried to pop in December 2020 grew and became bruised after squeezing it, she suspected it was because she had aggravated it.
So, when tests revealed she had stage 2 triple negative breast cancer, she was horrified. Now 24 and cancer free, Siobhan, of New Tredegar in the Rhymney Valley in South Wales, said: “I never thought I was at risk of cancer, especially at my age.
“I want to get the word out that young women need to be checking their breasts for lumps and must notify their doctor if there are any changes, as it could be lifesaving. I feel so lucky now to be cancer free.”
