Coronation Street star Victoria Ekanoye has revealed she has been diagnosed with breast cancer just months after welcoming her first child.
The soap actress, 39, spoke to OK! Magazine about the heartbreaking news, as she revealed she discovered a lump in her breast while feeding Theo, 11 months, who she shares with husband Jonny Lomas, before doctors investigated.
She said: 'I was diagnosed on October 13 with DCIS, which is Ductal carcinoma in situ. It basically means that cells have turned cancerous within the milk ducts.'
Earlier this year, Victoria, who played Angie Appleton in the soap, revealed she feared her 'miracle' baby boy would die during her traumatic three-day labour due to complications involving her sickle cell anaemia.
