A mother-of-two given a shock lung diagnosis has thanked a supermarket pizza for saving her life. 

Janette Schofield, of Oldham, Greater Manchester, was clueless about her disease until she suffered a freak accident while cooking an meat feast pizza.

She was left in ‘excruciating’ pain after fracturing her spine when she fell checking on the dish out of the oven. 

But tests taken at the hospital also revealed the 45-year-old had an abnormal 4cm growth on her left lung.

It left her needing emergency surgery and four rounds of chemo.

‘In a way, this snack was responsible for saving my life,’ Ms Schofield told MailOnline.  

On December 14, 2021 in need of a quick dinner, she settled on purchasing a £4.75 meat feast pizza from Asda. 

But minutes after putting the dish in the oven, Ms Schofield bent down to open the oven door to check on it, when she lost her balance and slipped.
