This Morning's resident agony aunt Deidre Sanders has said she feels "so lucky" to have had her breast cancer diagnosis early enough to have it treated as she prepares for surgery this weekend.
Deidre, 77, has reassured many callers over the years, but today (September 27) she was there to discuss her own health having been diagnosed with breast cancer.
Speaking to presenters Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield about what led her to visit a doctor, Deidre said: "I was just achy and I'm really glad I was because I phoned my GP.They saw me that day."
