The 53-year-old was removing her bandages from the breast implant procedure when she made a devastating discovery
A mum claims a boob job 'saved her life' - after it pushed a hidden lump to the surface that turned out to be breast cancer. Rebecca Craggs had breast implants fitted last October but a fortnight later, while removing her bandages, her 'heart sank' as she felt a hard broad bean-sized lump on her right breast.
Rebecca, of Birmingham, West Midlands, said: "I'm just counting my lucky stars that I actually had the boob job. Basically it was the implants that pushed the lump forward. "I think it was the first time I took it [surgical bra and bandages] off and had a look and that's when I found it. It was like a millimetre below the skin and it moved. It was really prominent - like a hard broad bean and about the size of one too.
"Then she brought a cancer nurse in and I thought 'oh my God' and I was by myself. Then she took me into a room and I just broke down. Three days later it came back that I had breast cancer.
