Hollyoaks Abi Phillips reveals she's been diagnosed with cancer
The 28-year-old actress - who played Liberty Savage in the Channel 4 soap- took to Instagram to share her shocking news after she got two lumps in her neck tested.
Abi revealed she had previously gone to the doctors to get the lumps examined, but was told there was nothing wrong, and she wanted to get a second opinion for "peace of mind". She continued: "I'd previously been sent away from the doctors after having found two lumps in my neck, they'd passed it off and said I was 'young' and it wouldn't be anything and I was 'probably getting over a cold' or my body was 'fighting something off'.
"As much as that's what I wanted to hear I wanted to get everything checked for my own peace of mind." After meeting with a specialist, Abi was told they were a cause for concern and that she required surgery and radiotherapy.
