Health by Shireen Khalil  Brega van Vugt, 33, was just eight days away from giving birth to her first child when she noticed something unusual about her left breast. The Melbourne-based mother-to-be was having a shower one day when she noticed there was a small lump on her left breast. She thought it was just part of her pregnancy, putting the discomfort down to a blocked milk duct. And while she didn t think anything of it, she decided to get it checked anyway after it failed to go away. But, at 39 weeks pregnant and after several tests, Ms Vugt was given the shocking news that the seemingly innocuous lump was a 4cm tumour.
