Strictly judge Shirley Ballas revealed last week that she 'worries every time the phone rings' as she waits for the results of a biopsy on her left breast. Shirley, 63, has revealed that a routine mammogram detected abnormalities in her left breast, and when a further mammogram detected 'lumpy tissue', doctors decided to investigate further with a biopsy. Shirley only went ahead with the mammogram, she says, after being prompted to do so by Strictly professional dancer Amy Dowden, 33, who was diagnosed with breast cancer last year. Around 55,000 women are diagnosed with the condition each year in the UK and, in 90 per cent of cases, it can be successfully treated if caught early. Many women may believe it's only lumps they need to look out for, but breast cancer can cause other symptoms, such as dimpling or a rash on the breast, nipple discharge or a change in the size and shape of the breast, explains Lester Barr, a breast cancer surgeon at the private Christie Hospital in Manchester, who is also founder and chair of the charity Prevent Breast Cancer.
