Concern for Lola Weippert. The presenter was diagnosed with a breast tumor. But she herself quietly gives the all-clear.
TV presenter Lola Weippert not only shares updates on professional topics on her Instagram account, but also on private ones. Now she has come forward with a message that has some of her fans worried: a tumor has been discovered in her breast. The 28-year-old announced this in a video on her Instagram channel after an examination, but at the same time gave the all-clear.
“As of now, hopefully good news: It is and hopefully will remain a benign tumor,” she said, but explained: “The only problem is that it has grown.” That is why she is now being referred to the Charité. “And then it will be punched and then I will hopefully get good results.”
This is done with a punch biopsy. Often only the removal and examination of a tissue sample provides final clarity as to whether a change in the breast is benign or malignant. In a so-called punch biopsy, a small amount of tissue is removed from the new growth using a hollow needle, usually under local anesthesia. Many changes in the breast are benign and do not increase the risk of breast cancer.
The influencer appealed to her more than 700,000 followers to go for regular check-ups: “Do it for yourself, do it for your body.” In conversations with her friends, she was shocked to discover that many of them had not been to their gynecologists for years.
