"I found a lump a few weeks ago, and it came and went, but then I was working on the Masked Singer and Lorraine, the TV show Lorraine Kelly, had put signs on the back of all the doors saying, check your breasts. And every time I went for a wee I did that, and it was still there. And then one morning, I saw it in the mirror, and I thought, I'm going to get that looked at."
"So I had a biopsy. I found out it was indeed breast cancer, and I had it taken out in a lumpectomy nearly three weeks ago, and the margins, they take out a little bit extra and they check the margins, and the margins are clear. It was very, very small, so I got it very, very early, which is incredibly lucky, but I am so relieved to have had it removed, and to know that it hasn't spread."
Davina McCall found a lump that intermittently appeared and decided to have it examined after seeing reminders to check breasts while working on Lorraine. A biopsy confirmed breast cancer and she underwent a lumpectomy nearly three weeks later. Surgeons removed a very small tumour with clear margins and left her lymph nodes intact and clear. She will receive five days of radiotherapy in January as a precautionary measure. She previously had surgery last year to remove a benign colloid cyst discovered during a health check linked to menopause advocacy. She thanked hospital staff, family, children and partner Michael Douglas and said she feels more positive after initial anger.
