'It's so important': Mum's warning after symptom she was told 'was nothing to worry about'
A Salford mum who was diagnosed with cancer at 32 despite being told a lump in her breast was ‘nothing to worry about’ has urged people to seek a second opinion if they feel that something isn't right.
“The doctor who examined me there said they weren’t concerned either, but said I could have a scan if I didn’t want to wait for my NHS appointment,” she explained. “Just to rule it out, I decided to have the scan and pay the money to find out. Just three months after first going to the GP, Karli was undergoing chemotherapy - which had to take place every three weeks for five months before further rounds of radiotherapy.
“He followed protocol and referred me anyway even though he didn’t think it was anything to be worried about. Both him and the private doctor helped save my life.” “My mum wanted to raise money for them, so some friends and family got together and climbed the Yorkshire Three Peaks. I had just finished chemotherapy three days earlier, so I said to them I’d do it next year and held myself to that.”
She is among 120 people chosen to take part in the expedition, which will also include celebrities like Giovanna Fletcher. She has pledged to raise at least £2,750 for the charity through a fundraiser and a series of events.
