Nikita was given antibiotics, but when the growth, believed to be made up of harmless pus, failed to go she was sent to a breast clinic for a scan. Nothing could have prepared her for the news she received.

New NHS figures show 55,033 men were diagnosed in 2023, compared to 47,526 cases of breast cancer.

THE NHS is lowering the bowel cancer screening age from 60 to 50 in a massive win for campaigner Dame Deborah James. The £16million Bowelbabe fundraiser, and The Sun, led calls for the change before her death aged 40 in 2022. Her family are now urging four million newly eligible people to make the most of the opportunity. Debs would be “grinning from ear to ear” at the decision to lower the bowel cancer screening age, her mum said.
