A dad-of-two was shocked to be given a devastating cancer diagnosis after finding a lump on his neck while shaving.
Michael Schillinger, 57, thought the lump was a swollen gland, but made an appointment to see his doctor to check. But his GP recognised signs of cancer, and made an urgent referral for tests, scans and a biopsy.
The test results revealed that Michael had stage four cancer - a diagnosis that his children Ben, 16, and Kate, 12, described as a frightening and traumatic life-changing event, reports CheshireLive.
