Sally Dynevor, who plays Sally Metcalfe on the Cobbles, issued a plea to fans after admitting she thought it was only older people who got diagnosed with the deadly disease.
Coronation Street actress Sally Dynevor, known for her role as Sally Metcalfe on the Cobbles, has revealed she fainted after she received the heartbreaking news of her breast cancer diagnosis as she thought the nurse had a 'mix up.'
"I was reading the scripts, and I suddenly had a gap," Sally explained while appearing on BBC Breakfast on Thursday. " I thought I'm just going to go and see our nurse and see what she thinks because I felt something very, very tiny." The mum-of-three is now fronting a campaign by Prevent Breast Cancer to improve resources in training the next generation of medical staff to work in breast cancer screening.
"But yesterday I met a young girl who was 22 when she got diagnosed. So this is really important." She added: "You never think that's going to happen to you. When somebody tells you that news, and it comes really out of the blue, it's really shocking."
