EastEnders has confirmed a heartbreaking story for returning Sam Mitchell (Kim Medcalf), as she is diagnosed with breast cancer after finding a lump.
While settling old scores with Zoe Slater (Michelle Ryan) and Vicki Fowler (Alice Haig), the Mitchell favourite is hiding her health fears and her behaviour soon spirals out of control.
Fortunately, having received an early diagnosis, she's able to make a full recovery after undergoing a lumpectomy in the New Year.
With the soap working alongside Breast Cancer Now and experts in the field, they're hoping that it highlights the importance of checking your breasts for any changes and then speaking to professionals as early as possible.
"Sam is initially hesitant to seek medical advice after she finds a lump in her breast but with the support of family and friends, Sam gets help quickly, and because her cancer is caught early, she’s able to successfully remove her breast lump via a lumpectomy in the New Year.”
"We know that the earlier breast cancer is diagnosed, the better the chances of successful treatment and, ultimately, of lives being saved.
