A self-confessed “it girl” is having her entire shoulder removed and replaced with metal after doctors discovered an avocado-sized tumour in her left shoulder joint. Cat Holden, 23, went from working in London and going on holidays abroad, to living back with her parents and needing 24-hour care and said the diagnosis ruined her life. She experienced her first symptoms — a shoulder twinge and weak arms — a year before diagnosis, initially believing she’d injured herself at the gym.
She said: “There was something very apparent to me that something was really wrong. “I got home from Australia in mid-November ... I had no lumps, no bumps. “But I couldn’t lift my left shoulder above a right-angle. “I’d lay awake every night and feel a pulse in my shoulder. “Even my physiotherapist noticed I’d really lost strength in my arm.” Cat was sent to a shoulder specialist on January 5, after being referred by a private healthcare company.
