Sarah Cawood reveals she’s found a second lump on her breast

Sarah Cawood has confirmed the discovery of a second lump on her breast, nine months after being diagnosed with cancer. 

The TV presenter revealed her original diagnosis last September, but has since discovered another lump – prompting her to check in with her doctor and request a mammogram. 

Taking to Instagram on Monday, Cawood, 50, admitted the position of the fresh lump, located on a previously unaffected breast, is a cause for concern – but could be a direct consequence of her ongoing hormone therapy.  

She said: ‘I’m just going to tell you guys something – I’ve found another f***ing lump. I went to the doctors and she could feel it too. 

‘Our hunch, me and the doc, is it’s because your boobs change, the composition of your boobs change quite a lot when you’re on hormone therapy. 

‘But I’ve got a mammogram tomorrow – it’s not a recurrence, so it would be another primary cancer, but I haven’t got the time, so will you all say a little prayer for me tomorrow at three?’

Worry: Sarah Cawood has confirmed the discovery of a second lump on her breast, nine months after being diagnosed with breast cancer

She added: I’ve got a niggly doubt, on the whole I feel OK, but I’ve just got that niggling tiny worry. Obviously, once you’ve had cancer you worry about it coming back all the time.’ 

‘I haven’t been quite as healthy as I could have been, but you know, you’ve got to live haven’t you? I can’t cut out all the joy, can I?’ 

Cawood underwent radiotherapy treatment following her initial diagnosis, and later  joked the life-saving equipment used to shrink the lump on her breast looked as though it could ‘shoot lasers and missiles’.

‘I look like S***,’ she told Instagram followers in November. ‘I had my first radiotherapy today, I am actually really tired but I don’t know if that’s the radiotherapy or not sleeping or life in general. 

The presenter, who has been open about her struggles with the menopause, said she’d not slept due to severe hot flushes. 

‘It’s [radiotherapy] OK you have to lie really still with your boob out. The machine looks like something would launch a missile’

She went on to say that she asked a nurse how much the equipment was worth and was flabbergasted  to learn of the £3M price tag.

‘It looks likes it will launch a laser,’ she joked.
