I found a lump a few weeks ago. It came and went but then I was working on The Masked Singer and Lorraine, the TV show, and Lorraine Kelly had put signs on the backs of all the doors saying &#8216;check your breasts&#8217; and every time I went for a wee I did that.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-text\">&#8220;It was still there, and then one morning I saw myself in the mirror and thought &#8216;I&#8217;m going to get that looked at&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-text\">&#8220;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.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-text\">She added: &#8220;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&#8217;t spread. My lymph nodes were clear, I didn&#8217;t have any removed, and all I&#8217;m going to do now is have five days of radiotherapy in January as kind of an insurance policy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-text\">Read More: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lbc.co.uk\/article\/aimee-lou-wood-sydney-sweeney-jeans-5HjdGWL_2\/\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Aimee Lou Wood takes swipe at Sydney Sweeney over controversial jeans campaign<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-text\">Read More: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lbc.co.uk\/article\/gta-6-delayed-again-rockstar-5HjdGTG_2\/\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">GTA 6 delayed again!

It&#8217;s been a lot. I was very angry when I found out, but I let go of that and I feel in a much more positive place now.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-text\">&#8220;I think my message is: get checked if you&#8217;re worried. Check yourself regularly. If you are due a mammogram, then get it done.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-text\">&#8220;I have dense breasts and I had a mammogram in August, and I was postponing the ultrasound; I just couldn&#8217;t find time to do it. Don&#8217;t do that. Get the ultrasound.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"8 Nov 2025, 12:01 Updated: 13h ago &#8220;It was very, very small, so I got it very, very&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":271145,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[49,48,361,75],"class_list":["post-271144","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/271144","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=271144"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/271144\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/271145"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=271144"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=271144"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=271144"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
