By the age of 40, mum-of-one Gemma Lonsdale had been married and divorced, had been through cancer twice and, thanks to a ‘spiritual awakening’, had ‘taken the plunge’ to work as a psychic Gemma Lonsdale Gemma’s journey of discovery began six years ago, after finding a lump in her breast. As she was just 34 at the time, she ignored it for several months as she felt that she was too young for it to be anything serious. But while on holiday with a friend, she was rubbing cream on her skin and felt the lump again.

This time it felt larger and “quite significant”, despite the fact that she was a “big-breasted lady”. Life was already complicated for Gemma as she and her husband were going through a separation. But she made an appointment to see her doctor as soon as she returned home and, while the medic assured her that it was “probably nothing to worry about”, referred her on to the local breast cancer screening clinic.
