TV Star Beats Breast Cancer After Early Detection
10 Nov
Summary
- TV star found lump, had it removed in lumpectomy
- Cancer was caught very early, did not spread
- Radiotherapy planned as precaution in January
In a recent announcement, a popular TV star revealed that she has been diagnosed and treated for breast cancer. The star explained that she found a lump a few weeks ago, which came and went, but she decided to get it checked after seeing Lorraine Kelly's advice to regularly examine one's breasts.
After a biopsy, the star learned that the lump was indeed breast cancer. Fortunately, the cancer was caught very early, and the star underwent a lumpectomy to remove the small tumor nearly three weeks ago. The star's lymph nodes were clear, and she did not require any further surgery.
Moving forward, the star will undergo five days of radiotherapy in January as an "insurance policy." She expressed immense relief that the cancer was detected and removed before it had a chance to spread. The star's story serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of regular self-examinations and heeding medical advice, which can make a crucial difference in early cancer detection and treatment.
