Charlotte, who will soon give birth to her first baby, revealed this summer that Letitia had no symptoms or lumps before going to her routine mammogram, admitting she initially refused to believe her mother’s diagnosis.
The former Celebrity Big Brother roommate on her Charlotte Crosby Always On podcast: ‘When she called and told us it was cancer, I said, ‘No, it’s not’. She said, “No, I’ve been told it’s cancer.” But I still didn’t believe it because I was so determined it couldn’t be.’
Letitia explained about her diagnosis: ‘It was just a routine mammogram, I’ve never missed one. When they told me it was cancer, I was shocked.’
Speaking: Charlotte told her fans, “I’ve noticed I’ve been getting a lot of DMs asking how she’s doing. She’s almost halfway through her chemo now!’

She added: “It was so hard to tell Charlotte I had cancer. A few months before that, we already had the good news that she was going to have the baby.’
Charlotte and her family were a support system for Letitia, who had to undergo four biopsies before surgery to remove her tumor and reconstruct her breast.
Letitia had surgery to remove a tumor and is now undergoing chemotherapy and radiotherapy to rid her body of any remaining cancer cells.

The mother and daughter have said they want to launch a campaign to lower the age for routine mammograms for women, which currently only start at age 50.
Charlotte and her boyfriend Jake Ankers, 33, announced in April of this year that they were expecting their first child.
She wrote on Instagram at the time: “A moment I wasn’t sure would ever be mine is here, it’s mine (and Jake’s) and I couldn’t be happier to share it with you all.. “I have a baby.”

And Charlotte says she wants to be engaged to her beau by the end of next year once they’re settled in family life.
She said The sun: ‘I’ll be engaged at the end of next year. I’m telling you now that I’ll be engaged by the end of next year.
“If he could, Jake would propose to us now, but I say no. I don’t like to do too much at once.
“I like beautiful long celebrations of every milestone in life and I don’t think there is any need to rush.
“I think even the end of next year would be a little rushed. I’m about to have a baby, so let’s celebrate, you know what I mean.”
Love: She told The Sun that a proposal would now be ‘too many at once’ due to her impending new arrival, but that Jake, 33, is eager to ask the question
