Angie Shaw says the incident helped her discover that she had breast cancer
She claims that her road to diagnosis began when she was knocked her over and headbutted by a labrador that she was treating. Wales Online reports that that the collision with the animal caused a lump on the nurse's chest.
The nurse's next mammogram also wasn’t due for about nine months, by which time the grade three cancer would have been too advanced to be able to save her life. The grandmother then had six rounds of chemotherapy which lasted months and 15 doses of chemotherapy. She then finished her treatment and is now celebrating being cancer free. However, following getting the all-clear, she is encouraging others to check for lumps as an "early diagnosis is so important."
