Facebook apologises for cancer error

SOCIAL networking site Facebook has apologised and admitted it made a mistake after it removed pictures of a woman who had undergone surgery for breast cancer.

Sharon Adams, 45, from Slough, in England, posted the photographs of herself on her page after she had a mastectomy.

She said on her Facebook page: “I am putting my pictures on here to hopefully raise awareness of breast cancer, women should check themselves weekly for any changes to their breasts.
