Woman discovers 'weird' line on her fingernail was actually a sign of cancer

28 June 2021, 11:42 amA woman who spent years covering up a 'weird' line on her fingernail was shocked to discover it was a sign of cancer.

Having visited her GP the very next day, Severs was given an urgent referral for a biopsy, after which she was told she had melanoma, a type of skin cancer. "Because it was just a tiny line I never thought anything of it and I always wore red nail polish to cover it up because I was embarrassed about it," she explains.

“By some miracle, although it had been growing outwards and the line was getting bigger, I was so lucky that it hadn’t started growing down yet so I was cured with a few surgeries," she explains. “It had just grown outwards so it hadn’t got to my blood yet.“It could have gone down at any point, but incredibly it hadn’t."Now Severs has been left without a fingernail, but she is grateful she caught the cancer before it spread.
