Kelly Hoppen ignored mammograms for 8 years before breast cancer
Former “Dragon” Kelly Hoppen CBE has spoken out about her breast cancer diagnosis after avoiding mammograms for eight years.
In the paper, she said she could not believe her “own stupidity” after ignoring routine mammogram invitations for eight years.She added: “It was a foolish thing to do, which is why I am writing this now. She credited her executive assistant and personal assistant with ensuring she finally followed through with an appointment in September 2022.
“It was in two milk ducts and I was booked in to have the cancer cells removed from the ducts — an awful procedure which made me feel very sore. She added there was a 10 to 15% chance the cancer will return, but she vowed never to skip a mammogram again.
