Young Mum told lump is result of breast feeding later diagnosed with terminal cancer A woman who doctors refused a biopsy and a mammogram after she complained of a painful lump on her breast has now been diagnosed with an incurable cancer that has since spread to her brain and other parts of her body, writes Maynard Manyowa for Yorkshire Live. Faye Downing, from Sheffield, was 25 when a lump suddenly appeared on her breast. A GP referred her to the NHS Breast Clinic. But, the breast clinic refused to perform a biopsy or mammogram, telling the young mother that she was "too young" and that the lump was "not fibrocystic". Faye's family say the lump only got bigger after that. Faye, who had been breastfeeding at the time returned to the breast clinic, but was again turned away, and told the changes in her breast

were normal and the result of "breastfeeding a newborn baby". Faye's condition continued to deteriorate and she returned to her referring GP. When she returned to the breast clinic, determined to get to the bottom of her pain and the lump, Faye's worst fears were confirmed when this time a biopsy and mammogram revealed she had cancer. The diagnosis came at the height of the pandemic and Faye was forced to deal with the news and pain alone. As the young mother, now 29, battled the cancer, doctors discovered a tumour on her brain. Faye, who has two children, Freddie who is five-years-old and Marnie, who is two-years-old underwent several rounds of chemotherapy without success. Her sister Hannah Turner, 36, and father Clive Downing, 60,

writing on behalf of Faye's family said: "As if our girl hadn’t been through enough she was then told from her check-up scans that the cancer had spread to other parts of the body she continues to fight so hard and be so brave for her children she’s gone through countless rounds of chemotherapy of all different kinds but it keeps failing on her. "We are incredibly proud of Faye. She’s been amazing through all of this never moaned once and just carries on as normal. She is bossing this awful disease." Unfortunately, doctors have since told Faye that her cancer is terminal and that "this will be her last Christmas with her kids". Her family said: "Just days ago at her hospital appointment she was told heartbreaking news by her consultant this would be her last Christmas with her children."
