A PATIENT has told of her shock after she was informed via email that she had cancer - just days after being told that there were no follow-up appointments available following her scans.
Jennifer Keane only just turned 40 last month, but had been troubled by breast cancer symptoms since late summer.
Jennifer, a structural engineer, went to her GP who referred her on to the Nightingale Centre, the diagnostic and treatment centre for breast cancer at Wythenshawe Hospital.
She told the M.E.N.: "My symptoms properly started between July and August, but I didn't think much of it. I didn't notice a lump, the first symptom I had was my nipple becoming so sensitive, nothing could touch it - I had to put cotton rounds in a soft crop top to wear and it was still unbearable.
"Then I started having swelling in my breast and stabbing pains. It all went away but I was left with a shape change to my breast, it looked like the flesh had been pinched back there was some dimpling and a flat area.
She saw her GP and had her scans on Tuesday of last week. During the appointment, she says she started to feel like there might be bad news.
She said: "I was sitting with the ultrasound tech and a nurse staring at the image as I was having the scan.
"I felt like the nurse's demeanour changed, it became more serious and concerned. The nurse started holding my hand. I was sort of like, 'that's nice but what the hell?'
