Taylor LautnerTay’s wife is recalling the horrific ordeal that recently left her thinking she was dealing with breast cancer.
Tay Shared Health Update About Her and Husband’s Latest Episode The squeeze podcast, recalling that a few months ago she felt a lump in her breast while taking a shower. Tay, 27, said she stopped for a brief second and “pressed again” and felt a “hard lump.”
“I literally stood in the shower and completely froze,” she said.
Tay’s mind began to race to the worst-case scenario, as she had friends and family who had personally dealt with breast cancer.
“Feeling something strange in your body, especially there, was scary,” she said. “I immediately started crying.”
After getting out of the shower, Tay didn’t know who to call. Twilight star, 32, wasn’t home at the time. He was in an important meeting, and Tay said she didn’t want to call him and “bother him.”
But when she got home, Taylor said she immediately realized something was wrong.
“You were just acting different, but sad,” he recalled. “You weren’t talking much.”
Then Tay started crying.
“When you told me, I was terrified because it’s hard for your mind not to go to the worst place,” Taylor shared. “So yeah, I was terrified, but I was trying not to show that I was terrified because I didn’t want you to worry any more than you were. I think to you I was probably like, ‘I’m sure it’s nothing, but let’s check it out. ‘ Meanwhile, on the inside, I’m freaking out.”
Tay wanted to visit a breast center, but she couldn’t do so without first getting a referral from her gynecologist. Eventually, Tay got the referral and was able to visit the breast center, where doctors performed an ultrasound. Tay said the doctor told her everything was clear and that sometimes these things can just happen, like when tissue moves in the breast. Hormones can also cause lumps.
In the end, Tay said that everything is fine and that she is “happy and thriving.”
“It’s still there to this day,” Tay added, referring to the hard lump in her breast. “It hasn’t gone away.”
