A mum has credited her gastric sleeve operation in Turkey for saving her life after she lost so much weight it revealed a shock diagnosis.
Following the death of her mum, Katie Schofield, 32, suffered mental health issues and gained 5st. It led her to going to Turkey for gastric sleeve surgery, and while she said she wasn't happy with the procedure, she lost lots of weight.
As her body changed, she found a pea-sized lump on her left breast and was diagnosed with breast cancer - the same type which had killed her mum. And just two weeks later her dad, David, a 61-year-old machine operator was also quickly diagnosed with stage two breast cancer.
Katie and her dad are fighting the disease together - and David has tested positive for the BRCA gene, while Katie is being referred for further genetic tests.
Despite suffering from "lots of complications - like two blood clots in my right arm and a throat-and-lung infection" after the surgery, she credits it with revealing the breast cancer.
Katie, from Liverpool, said: "In the first four weeks I lost about 2st - because I just couldn't eat. Now, I've lost 7st in total.
"I suffered loads of complications - like a blood clot in my main portal vein, two blood clots in my right arm and a throat-and-lung infection.
"But a month later, I finally started to feel like myself again, and I could enjoy my new body.
"I think the weight loss was the reason for me finding the lump when I did - my boobs were totally gone, and I had an uncomfortable pea-sized lump in my left one, which I found while washing.
"It was painless - but uncomfortable. So I went to see a doctor - thinking I couldn't possibly have anything else wrong with me!"
