A small spot inside my nostril turned into skin cancer – I was terrified I’d be disfigured on my wedding day

WHEN Tracy Summerfield developed a small spot inside her nostril, her doctor said it was nothing to worry about.

But three years later the mum, from Manchester, was diagnosed with skin cancer – and saw the tumour grow all the way down to her lip.

Faced with cancer, the 53-year-old proposed to her long-term partner, but faced the possibility of a sizeable scar at her wedding.

 

As I looked in the mirror on on my wedding morning, I couldn’t believe the reflection that was looking back at me.

I felt like a beautiful bride – which was something that I had never thought was going to be possible.

Three years earlier, in April 2015, I had been about to go out to work as a nursing assistant when I had noticed a small spot on the inside of my right nostril.
