Chloe Ferry has opened up about having a cancer scare after she recently found a lump on her breast.
The Geordie Shore star got emotional as she discussed the scare with her 3.4million Instagram followers on Monday.
“The other month I found a lump in my boob,” she said on her Instagram Stories.
“When you first find something like that you just always think the worst and you start panicking.”
“I went for my scan and everything’s alright, it’s all good. But I just want to make you aware guys: I never knew how long that lump had been there because I never ever check.”
Getting emotional, Chloe added: “When I went for my scan I was so nervous – I have never felt like that before. And the fact that I was obviously lying there thinking that people come here and receive the worst news ever.”
“It really really upset me,” she admitted as she broke down in tears.
The 23-year-old shared diagrams of how to check your breasts, and revealed she had received a lot of messages from her followers regarding checking their breasts for lumps.
“There’s quite a lot of people messaging me saying that they are too scared to feel their boobs for lumps. That was my main issue: I was always too scared to feel, just in case I did find anything.”
“So this is just for all you guys asking that question: it’s normal to be scared, but its best to check.”
