She said that she had neck pain and headache. "The cat kept patting her chest with its front paws"I used to push it away because of the pain, but each time I got it back in my arms and kept touching the same area."



Eventually, she felt something was wrong and did a thorough examination, and surprisingly, she was diagnosed with stage 2 invasive ductal cancer, a type of breast cancer.

She removed the mass, removed all lymph nodes under her right arm, and underwent radiotherapy.
