A woman has accidentally saved her own life when she coughed up an cancerous tumor, the Daily Mail reported.

Claire Osborn, 37, felt a tickle in her throat moments before hacking up a 2cm long heart-shaped lump.

She took the growth to her GP and a biopsy revealed it was metastatic adenocarcinoma – a throat and mouth cancer.

Claire was initially given a 50 percent chance of survival but further tests revealed there was no trace of any other cancer in her entire body.

女子将肿瘤咳出后痊愈

       据英国《每日邮报》报道，一名女子咳出肿瘤，意外救了自己一命。

       今年37岁的克莱尔·奥斯本，感觉喉咙发痒，之后咳出一颗长约两公分、类似心脏形状的肿块。

       她去看医生，活体检查称其为转移性腺癌，即喉咙和口腔癌。

       克莱尔最初被诊断仅有50%的存活几率，但进一步检查发现，她身体里不再有癌细胞存在。
