Jazz singer's breast cancer battle at just 19

Each year 46,000 people are diagnosed with breast cancer - only four of these are under 20.

So when 19-year-old student Elisa Caleb went to her doctor with a lump everyone felt quite confident it would be benign.

Elisa was told the results were clear.

But she says they were unclear. And medics were so confident that she was too young to have the condition, they did not tell her of the uncertainty, or order any further tests.
