Amanda Davis-Baird was doing her Christmas shopping three years ago in Leicester when she got the life-changing call from her consultant.
"I was stood in the middle of a big store when he told me my cancer was operable," she says.
"I had this image of a black, creepy, spiky thing inside of me and I wanted it out. I felt dirty."
An MRI scan had found a cancerous mass on the 39-year-old's pancreas after a variety of symptoms had suggested something was wrong.
At first it was her appetite which waned. She stopped eating breakfast and then skipped lunch too because she felt full up.
Her GP gave her a prescription for indigestion and sent her home - but there were no signs of improvement.
