Leeches saved my breasts

So when medics told the cancer sufferer the only way of saving her breast was to have 30 LEECHES stuck to her body, she was terrified.

But the mum-of-two, 51, was out of options after suffering major complications following 13 hours of reconstruction surgery.

After the op, the blood flow to her new right breast was cut off.

Janice, a learning support assistant, said: "My right breast started to turn black. The flesh was dying in front of my eyes. It was one of the most frightening things of my life.

"My first operation was immediately followed by another seven-hour one. In an attempt to restore blood flow, the surgeons took a vein from my right arm and attached it to the new breast, but it didn't work."
