Tests revealed mum-of-two Julie had a 5.6cm tumour and cancer in four of her lymph nodes
A mum-of-two has shared how a cuddle with her children saved her life. Julie Kerridge, 44, originally felt a lump in her breast and immediately went to get it checked out.
Her doctor was unsure, but still referred Julie to a consultant at Ipswich Hospital in Suffolk who sent her to have a mammogram and ultrasound scan. Tests revealed that Julie had a 5.6cm tumour and cancer in four of her seven lymph nodes.READ MORE The conversation from mum with 'weeks to live' that saved her brother's life
Julie was quickly booked to have a mastectomy - an operation to remove her breast. Being told that she needed the operation was upsetting, but Julie said there was never any doubt that it was the right decision. She now takes hormone therapy tablets each day to prevent the cancer from returning and is urging other women not to hesitate in getting checked out.
