The 47-year-old a mother of two examined the spot and discovered a strange lump.
She went to her GP the following day and was diagnosed with a grade three tumour in her breast.

Brenda was admitted to hospital for emergency surgery and is now undergoing a course of chemotherapy.
She now believes her dog saved her life.
"She was sitting on my lap all the time, something she didn't normally do. I'm convinced she sensed I had a tumour," the Daily Star quoted her as saying.
"Without her pawing me that day it would have gone undiagnosed," she added.
