‘I was 12 weeks pregnant when doctors found a BASKETBALL-sized tumour next to my baby’ says woman, 30, from London
A pregnant mum was left horrified when a routine ultrasound revealed a “huge” tumour in one of her ovaries.
Carly Rolph was stunned to see the “basketball-sized” mass on a scan, nestled next to her growing baby.
The 30-year-old, who is married to her husband, Sam, 34, received the news at a 12-week appointment that she attended with her toddler son.

She said: “The doctors asked me extensively about my family history.

“I remember feeling mentally exhausted on the way home and when I was finally back, being able to let it all out and cry while talking to my husband.”
Carly and her husband then had to wait a month for an MRI and a further two weeks for the results.
