Penny thought she was fine after a mammogram a couple of months earlier - but then her daughter told her to check anyway
A mum who thought she was in the clear from breast cancer after having a mammogram discovered she had the disease while watching a TV show. Penny Hole was watching Lorraine on television with her daughter when there was a slot about checking your breasts.
"She asked me, 'Well do you check?' I said 'No, not really I have a mammogram', I didn't worry so much, I had one a couple of months before that. While watching the show I sat back and I actually checked and I found a hard lump in my breast." "I went to the doctor and they referred me for a scan, they said it would be around two weeks but it took nine weeks, three weeks before Christmas then I was diagnosed with breast cancer."
She told how it was during her treatment that the Covid-19 pandemic hit. She said: "That was a bit scary, I was lucky I was already in the system when it all kicked off so I was still having my treatment. I had my chemo through the lockdown, I could chill out and rest through it all." They have produced a song, called "Golden" - the profits of which will go to the breast cancer charity Future Dreams. You can pre-order the single here.
