Roxy Jacenko reveals new breast lump scare
It’s the news no woman ever wants to hear, and Roxy Jacenko has spoken out about the “scary” moment her doctors found another lump in her breast just three weeks ago.
The PR maven, who was given the all clear last year after her battle with breast cancer, explained how she underwent a check up, only for doctors to tell her they had found a lump.

“I had my 12 month check up just three weeks ago, it was a scary time as there was another lump in the same breast,” she told the Daily Mail.
Roxy, 37, had surgery to remove a tumour last July, followed by 31 days of radiation.
The Sweaty Betty director, who now takes medication daily to help prevent the return of the cancer, admits the last few weeks have been incredible stressful for her and her young family as she underwent further testing.
“It meant another core biopsy and further tests but I got the all clear last week which was a huge relief,” she said.
Roxy’s admission comes after the mum-of-two told Be she received her cancer diagnosis three weeks after her husband Oliver was sentenced after being convicted of conspiracy to commit insider trading in 2016.
He then spent a further 12 months behind bars for the crime, with the separation taking its toll on Roxy and the couple’s two children Pixie, six, and three-year-old Hunter.
“It upset Oli that he wasn’t around to help when I got the breast cancer diagnosis because he was incarcerated at the time,” she said.
Now, Roxy said she’s doing all she can to help those organisations she relied on during her illness - and Oli is backing her all the way.
As part of her fundraising for Breast Cancer Month, the 37-year-old has teamed up with TONI&GUY to dye her hair pink.
“I love experimenting and I know I’m in good hands with TONI&GUY,” she said.
