A mum-to-be who thought a lump in her breast was due to hormonal changes discovered she had breast cancer at 10 weeks pregnant. <br /><br />Amy Scanlon, 30, initially put the lump in her left breast down to hormonal changes after undergoing fertility treatment - but decided to get it checked out just in case.<br /><br />She and her partner, Gerald Catney, 34, an operations manager, had been overjoyed when they found out they were expecting in February 2024 after undergoing four rounds of medicated cycles.<br /><br />But their joy was short-lived when Amy was diagnosed with breast cancer 10 weeks in on 21 March 2024 - after months of appointments, tests and ultrasounds. <br /><br />Now, with just three months to go before her due date on 18 October, Amy is undergoing chemotherapy as a preventative measure to ensure the cancer does not spread. <br /><br />When her daughter is born, Amy will have three more rounds of chemotherapy, radiation, and 10 rounds of Herceptin infusions - as well as between five to 10 years of hormone therapy medication.
