Marjorie Stowell, 69 (left), from Cardiff, went for an X-ray after she fell over and feared she had broken her shoulder. She was told to take off her jewellery before the scan - which revealed a small oval-shaped shadow on her chest (right, circled).
Afterwards, a doctor said the shadow was her necklace - but Mrs Stowell replied she wasn't wearing it in the X-ray. Tests revealed it was a tumour in her chest, and she had a three-hour operation to remove a third of her lung. Now, she claims her favourite locket (inset) saved her life. She said: 'I feel I've been incredibly lucky.'
