More devastating news for PR queen Roxy Jacenko as she reveals to The Advertiser she has been diagnosed with breast cancer.
The heartbreaking news comes just weeks after her husband Oliver Curtis was jailed for insider trading.
The mother of two revealed she found a lump on her left breast when showering 10 days ago.
It was initially thought the lump could be partially removed through operation but it was discovered that it was bigger than originally thought.

Roxy’s perfect family was already shattered when Oliver was sent to prison.
Any surgery has been postponed until further testing can be done.
Roxy explained to the publication she confessed the news to Oliver during one of his allowed phone calls from his facility.
Roxy is a high powered businesswoman who already has a tough time juggling work and kids.
“He happened to phone when I was at the specialist so I just told him then,” Roxy told The Advertiser.
She says the call lasted just six minutes, the longest Oliver is allowed as an inmate.
The PR maven’s family have some tough times ahead.
The PR guru says she hasn’t told her two-year-old son Hunter about her diagnosis but her oldest child Pixie has been informed.
“She cried last night because I said I wasn’t going to come home for two nights because I would be in hospital,” she revealed.

Meanwhile, the 36-year-old revealed that her husband was a “broken man”, and that she was shell-shocked over the events of the past few weeks.
“I don’t think there is anything that could shock me more now,” she said.
The court’s decision to commit Oliver to jail time has meant that Roxy is now the sole carer for the couple’s two children.
But this new and devastating medical diagnosis is sure to put strain on an already fractured family.
