Molly-Mae: Star shares scary encounter with 'golf ball-sized lump' in breast

The 22-year-old took to social media to open up about her experience with breast examinations after having detected a considerably-sized lump in her breast.

A golf ball-sized lump

The social media star revealed back in September having had surgery to remove a lump in her breast after a biopsy found the growth to have increased in size. She said:

I was like lying in bed with Tommy and sort of lying really far back and sort of went like that [cupped side] on my boob and I literally felt it. Honestly, I think when you find a lump you sort of think how have I not felt this before?

And added:

Mine was literally, it felt like a literal golf ball. It felt huge. Actually at first they recommended that I didn't have the lump removed at all. They said it was something called a fibroadenoma and it's benign and not serious, but I think that as a woman to have to just live with a huge lump in your boob, for me it just didn't sit right.

Despite doctors reassurance that the lump itself was benign and no real cause for concern, Molly-Mae explained that something still didn't feel right with her body. She ultimately took matters into her own hands and decided to get the growth removed instead of constantly wondering whether the lump would eventually turn into something more sinister.

This isn't the first time Molly-Mae has had a cancer scare. In 2021, a mole that was removed from her leg was found to have been a malignant melanoma.
