Woman diagnosed with cancer at 22 after spotting 'tiny' sign - Gloucestershire Live
Erin Johnston was diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer after detecting a pea-sized lump, highlighting the importance of early detection and prompt medical attention.
- Erin Johnston, a primary school teacher from Greenwich, was diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer in December 2019 after noticing a tiny pea-sized lump on her breast.
- Although doctors first believed the small breast abnormality was harmless given her age, further testing confirmed it was an early-stage cancer that had not spread and was treatable.
- Erin underwent two surgeries in early 2020, chemotherapy, and preventative hormone therapy, and froze her eggs that year due to treatment risks and future fertility hopes.
- Erin pays £350 annually to store her eggs at a discounted rate, but after a cancer recurrence in 2023 requiring further surgery and radiotherapy, she was told she must now pay full costs herself.
- Erin feels the situation is unjust since she had no choice in egg freezing and remains in treatment, and she advocates awareness for early symptom checks regardless of age.
