A woman’s “world turned upside down” while watching TV.

Vicky Green made a shocking discovery while watching The Great British Bake Off. The 31-year-old, from Chester, was horrified when she felt a lump in her left breast as she put her hand under her armpit to warm her body.

Vicki was referred for tests and in November last year was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer and was told she would need chemotherapy, surgery and radiotherapy. A few days after her diagnosis, Vicki and her partner, Army Captain Mick, 32, were scheduled to go on a month-long trip to South Africa.

However, the dream vacation had to be cancelled. The couple planned to spend Christmas with Mick’s family, and Mick planned to ask Vicki to marry him while they were there.

But the cancer diagnosis didn’t derail their plans, and Mick proposed to Vicki on an outing in Llandudno just before she started treatment.

Vicky, a merchandiser at the regatta, said: But when the doctor examined me, he actually found a second lump, and I started to worry that it was something serious.

“But we managed to have some lovely days instead. One day in Llandudno, Mick proposed on top of the Great Orme. It was just us and the sun was shining. It was so nice. He was going to ask me to marry him.” I was in South Africa, but Llandudno was just as nice. Once this is all over and my hair grows back, I want to get married as soon as possible. ”

Doctors warned Vicki that she might not be able to conceive after chemotherapy, so they decided to freeze the embryos before starting treatment. She is currently completing 16 rounds of chemotherapy at Wirral’s Clutterbridge Cancer Center.
