My boob job saved my life, says mother who discovered a cancerous lump after knocking her breast implant on a door frame

Leza Davies, 33, from Telford, Shropshire, had a boob job in April 2007 as breast feeding had left her chest saggy. The procedure boosted her confidence and she settled down to life as a new mother. But in April 2012 she knocked her right breast on a door frame and found a pea-sized lump. Hospital tests revealed it was cancer, which was ununsual in such a young woman. She began six months of chemotherapy and radiotherapy but the cancer had spread to the surrounding tissue so after the treatment she had surgery to remove five lymph nodes filled with cancerous cells. Doctors said the treatment would leave her infertile, but remarkably, when she went for a mammagram to check she was in remission, she found out she was pregnant. Her third child, Araya-Maye (pictured inset) is now nine months old, and Mrs Davies says her boob job meant she discovered the lump and will now see her grow up. She said: 'If my breasts had stayed the same size I would never have knocked them. My implants saved my life.'
