Jackie O reveals the "worst diagnosis of my life"
Jackie O Henderson has shared the "worst diagnosis of my life", announcing that she found a lump on her breast.
The radio host was joined live on air by the show's resident medical expert Dr Sam Hay, explaining her situation and asking for advice.
“There is a small lump there but it doesn’t look like cancer. I think it’s a seborrheic keratosis,” Hay told her after examining the area.
“What do I do with it?” she asked him.
“That one you can leave and if it’s continuing to get bigger, doctors will freeze it with liquid nitrogen,” he said.
While discussing their medical concerns, Jackie O's co-host Kyle Sandilands shared a worry of his own with Dr Hay, asking for advice on a lump that had arisen on his cheek that was “the size of a pea”.
“I have a feeling it’s exactly the same thing. It could be a viral wart,” the doctor told Sandilands.
“I didn’t want to say that to Jackie but they’re called geriatric warts,” Kyle said.
Henderson appeared horrified at this comment, asking, “Do I have a wart?”
“This is the worst diagnosis of my life. I’m going to get it frozen off as soon as possible,” she said.
It's not the first time Jackie O has discussed a health scare live on air, as in November last year, she was rushed to hospital during an episode of the Kyle and Jackie O Show.
Returning to the radio studio in the days after, she shared that while her symptoms were similar to that of a heart attack, she was suffering from an infection that she was treated for at Sydney's Royal North Shore Hospital.
