Cancer scare for Heather Mills
Heather Mills has revealed she had a cancer scare before Christmas after doctors discovered a tumour at the top of her amputated leg.
The former wife of Sir Paul McCartney was alerted to the problem after suffering an injury while skiing.
Ms Mills, 44, who is soon to race for the British Disabled Ski Team, told Hello! magazine of her relief that the lump proved to be benign.
She said: “An MRI scan picked up a tumour in the top of my left leg, which is the same one I had amputated below the knee.
“I had to go back into the MRI machine and they put a dye into it. Doctors said the tumour had been there for some time. Thankfully, it was all fine. Doctors told me the tumour was benign, not cancerous.”
The campaigner – who lost a leg almost 20 years ago – began working with the disabled team a year ago after her potential as a racer was spotted.
