Mark Steel realised his neck looked bigger than normal
Comedian Mark Steel revealed he was diagnosed with a cancer ‘that can be got rid of’ the Mirror reports. The comedian shared a blog post on his website revealing the details of his diagnosis, explaining how he spotted that his neck looked ‘bigger than normal’ while he was shaving.
Initially, Mark googled his symptoms and assumed it was an infection and took no notice for two weeks. As time went on, the size of his neck became larger so he booked an appointment with a doctor. The doctor did the check-up and referred him to the hospital for a scan. The hospital then referred him for a biopsy after getting concerned about the 'enlarged' and 'uneven' growth. When a doctor phoned him several nights later, they asked him about his symptoms and Mark realised they were "unsubtle cancer questions".
Not long after, he received a phone call about his cancer diagnosis. Mark said: "Then a completely new person called me, and said I had to go in for a repeat biopsy the next day 'to see what stage of cancer you have'. 'Hang on,' I said, 'No one has said it’s definitely cancer, are you saying it’s definitely cancer?' She paused. 'Yes. Had no one told you?'"
