A beloved TV news presenter has shared her battle with a late-stage, aggressive and rare form of cancer after discovering a 'little lump' while showering. 

Ngarrindjeri Latvian woman Michelle Aleksandrovics Lovegrove was diagnosed with  Angioimmunoblastic T-Cell Lymphoma - a fast-growing blood cancer which has a five-year survival rate of 33 per cent. 

The former news presenter has shared her battle with cancer in a series of videos posted on Monday to her YouTube channel 'Changing Life with Lymphoma'.

Ms Lovegrove explained she spotted the lump on the right-hand side of her groin while showering but 'promptly forgot about it'.

'It didn't hurt, it moved around, there was no swelling and it wasn't red,' Ms Lovegrove said. 

'I thought "this is weird" and I thought it was a little cyst and I went "I'll keep an eye on that" and promptly forgot about it.'

But the lump then suddenly grew four times its size in just five days.

When she then found another lump on the left side of her body, Ms Lovegrove immediately scheduled an appointment with her GP.

She admitted she 'got really worried' but still did not believe the lump was cancer and simply thought it was the symptom of a hernia. 

Ms Lovegrove also dismissed other symptoms including bedsheet-drenching night sweats - which she believed was caused by menopause.  

'I had other definable signs such as incredible drenching night sweats - to be honest I put down to menopause - crushing fatigue, which I put down to other stuff and then later incredible itching,' Ms Lovegrove said. 

Her doctor immediately booked her in for an ultrasound, CT scan and a core biopsy to determine the cause of her lumps. 

After three core biopsies, Ms Lovegrove was diagnosed with stage 4B Non-Hodgkin's T-Cell Lymphoma and was quickly put on chemotherapy
