Stacey Boss, from Glasgow, said an eagle-eyed nail technician likely saved her life after spotting the mark and telling her to get it checked out by medics.
A Scots mum who mistook a mark on her fingernail for a bruise only to discover it was actually cancer was forced to get it removed - but now enjoys a ten percent discount on manicures. Stacey Boss said she spotted a thin brown streak that had been lurking under the fake nails on her right thumb back in 2019 but just shrugged it off until a nail technician spotted it.
Stacey breathed a massive sigh of relief but said that doctors have now suggested other investigations to determine where or not the cancer has spread to other parts of her body. She says the nail technician prompting her to get it checked could have possibly saved her life and that she now gets a shellac French manicure for a reduced price, due to having less fingernails.
"I'd noticed it for a long time and just kind of shrugged it off as maybe a bruise. I'd just got used to it and it wasn't until someone pointed it out that it was a big shocking moment. The nail technician possibly saved my life, she's well trained and was very aware, more than me."

It was such a relief to have it out I'll tell you that. It wasn't a shock to be told I had this cancer, as I'd already known.
