Young mum issues warning after being told cancerous lump was nothing to worry about
A young mum who was diagnosed with cancer at 32 has urged people to get a second opinion after being told her cancerous lump was 'nothing to worry about'.
When Karli, who works in child services, found out there would be a six-week wait time for an appointment, she said her anxiety got the best of her and she booked herself in with a private doctor just to get some clarity. Ultimately, she was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer and it was discovered the lump had spread to three of her lymph nodes.
Karli says she is ‘so, so thankful’ towards her GP, who, despite not expecting a cancer diagnosis, referred Karli for screening as he should. “As I was diagnosed during lockdown, it was quite a lonely experience,” she explained. “My mum and husband couldn’t come into the hospital with me and I had to go alone.
“Being outdoors has really helped with my recovery,” Karli explained. “It’s helped me both physically and mentally.” “Luckily for me, I examined myself every month because of charities like Coppafeel. I think it’s really an important charity and there needs to be more awareness about it."
