Dragons Den star Kelly Hoppen diagnosed with breast cancer after ignoring appointments for years
Kelly Hoppen announced she was diagnosed with breast cancer after ignoring her mammogram letters for years.
Writing in The Daily Mail, she said: "For eight years I ignored my routine invitations to have a mammogram. Writing this now, I can't believe my own stupidity. I was like a child plugging my ears with my fingers and singing to blot out the sound of something I didn't want to hear. "Everything looked fine, they said, and I left feeling that lightness that overcomes us when a weight is lifted. But the relief was temporary. Two hours later they recalled me telling me they needed one more image of my right breast."
The TV personality admitted there is a 10-15% chance the cancer may return, but has come forward with her cautionary tale so others don't make the same mistakes as her. "I wanted to wait until I was completely sure that I was out of the woods before I told my story, and I'm doing so now to encourage other women never to miss a screening," she said.
