A mum-of-two has shared how a cuddle with her children saved her life. Julie Kerridge, 44, originally felt a lump in her breast and immediately went to get it checked out.
The mum found the lump back in 2018 and has now bravely shared her story in honour of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Her doctor was unsure, but still referred Julie to a consultant at Ipswich Hospital in Suffolk who sent her to have a mammogram and ultrasound scan. Tests revealed that Julie had a 5.6cm tumour and cancer in four of her seven lymph nodes.

Julie from Ipswich, Suffolk, said: “I was cuddling one of my children one day, and I felt something a bit strange. At first, I thought I was being paranoid, but I kept feeling it and there was definitely something there. When they did the ultrasound, I just knew from the expressions on their face something was wrong."
Julie was quickly booked to have a mastectomy - an operation to remove her breast. Being told that she needed the operation was upsetting, but Julie said there was never any doubt that it was the right decision.
The operation was successful, as were subsequent rounds of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. After three reconstructive surgeries, Julie finished treatment in July 2020.
She now takes hormone therapy tablets each day to prevent the cancer from returning and is urging other women not to hesitate in getting checked out.
Julie, who works as an accountant for the NHS, said: “If somebody says something needs to be done, by not having it removed, you're limiting your life.
"You're not going to see your kids grow up, so you just have to do it.
