KATIE Price has revealed she's undergoing tests amid cancer fears – 23 years after she first beat the disease.
The former glamour model, 47, shared her concerns during the latest episode of The Katie Price Show podcast, and she previously revealed the terrifying details surrounding her health scare.
Katie was diagnosed with leiomyosarcoma around the same time she gave birth to her eldest son, Harvey, 23, after a manicurist spotted a lump in her finger.
Leiomyosarcoma is commonly referred to as LMS and is a soft tissue sarcoma with a fifty percent survival rate in advanced cases.
Despite this, Katie revealed the lump in her finger was dismissed by two doctors as harmless before she eventually had it removed.
Speaking to Katherine Ryan on the What's My Age Again podcast earlier this year, Katie said: "While I was pregnant with Harvey I got cancer. I didn't know that until, because they couldn't do all the scans, after.
"It was in my hand, they took it out, it was called leiomyosarcoma.
"Apparently, I got that from being pregnant, the stress of it."
Katie's shock news came just weeks after Harvey was diagnosed with Prader-Willi Syndrome, and doctors discovered he was partially blind.
Revealing she took her diagnosis casually, Katie said: "So when I phoned my mum, I just remember going, 'Mum, just to let you know, they found cancer'. I was so flippant like that because so much had already happened to me by then."
She added: "It was just a, 'Yeah, this has happened now', 'Yeah, that's happened now'. I think about it and then I'm just like, oh, well, you just got to get on with it."
Revealing her new fears this week, Katie said: "The same finger here, up here, this is about three weeks ago, I thought, have I knocked it? Because it hurts when I push it but there's no lump.
"And it (the pain) still hasn't gone. So I'm going to get that X-rayed and looked at so I hope it's not that again."
Katie admitted that she is now worried about the pain, which has persisted for a while.
She added: "This better not be my bad news, and get bad results, because all this is happening, and then normally in my life something good happens and then something bad happens. Let's hope it's nothing bad."
