Tommy Walsh Illness
Celebrity builder Tommy Walsh was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2012 after he found two lumps on his chest. Because of his family history, the doctor recommended that he see a consultant at The Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel.
His sister had a lumpectomy to remove cancerous and normal breast tissue when she was just 31-years-old before making a full recovery.
There was also history of breast cancer in his family going back another generation, as the Ground Force star’s aunt contracted the disease but left it untreated.
“She was in her late 50s when she developed symptoms but she went into denial about the problem,” Tommy told The Mirror in 2013. “It was very sad, as she was a lovely woman who worked as a home help.”
While the doctor said it was probably nothing, he sent Tommy to have the lumps in his chest tested.
The TV builder said he was not too worried when he went to the hospital: “I was being a bit of a bloke about the whole thing. I just buried myself in my work and then went along for the day surgery where the lumps were removed under a general anaesthetic. It was only then that it sort of hit me that this could actually be serious and I could have breast cancer, like my relatives.”
The test results showed that the lumps were benign, but he confessed it was “a bit of a wake-up call” about breast cancer.
