Mum asks surgeons to weigh breast after mastectomy to claim 'Slimmer of the Week'

A positive thinking mum who joined a dieting group only weeks before she underwent a mastectomy after a shock cancer diagnosis asked surgeons to weigh her removed breast so she could claim 'Slimmer of the Week'.

Fiona McCarthy, 52, from Allenwood in Kildare is now urging everyone to go for all cancer checks after she was diagnosed with lobular cancer on her first-ever mammogram.
