A Tesco worker thought she'd been given a death sentence after finding a pea-sized lump on her breast in the bath.
Debbie Layfield was in the middle of running a bath at her home in Claughton, Wirral, when she answered a phone call from a family member who had found a lump. The mum-of-three tried to reassure her family member the lump would likely be nothing to worry about, but when she got into the bath moments later Debbie was shocked to find she also had a lump on her breast.
Debbie, whose youngest child was in primary school at the time, went to see her GP following the chance phone call and she was immediately referred to the Clatterbridge Cancer Centre. The 44-year-old underwent a series of tests in one afternoon and by 4pm was told she had breast cancer.
