Rib Scare Leads to Kidney Cancer Discovery

Read, Watch or Listen

After a drunken girls’ weekend at Butlin’s in Minehead, Charlotte Morjaria, 31, went to hospital fearing a rib injury from a game of tag. Instead, doctors found a 2.5-inch tumor on her left kidney, later diagnosed as stage-one TFE3 renal cell carcinoma. The Newport mother of one, who endured a 22-hour wait and nearly left, had her kidney removed in August, a day before turning 31. Declared cancer-free in September but still high risk, she faces regular scans and is urging others to seek checks and ask questions.
