Dylan Alcott’s partner Chantelle Otten finds lump on breast

Aussie tennis champion Dylan Alcott has spent weeks in and out of hospital with partner Chantelle Otten after she found a lump on her breast.

Tennis star Dylan Alcott has been rocked by a cancer scare after his partner revealed she found a lump on her breast.

Chantelle Otten, a sexologist and Alcott’s partner of two years, posted a candid video on Instagram revealing she had found a lump on her right breast two months ago.

“While on a sleepover with my friend Angie, I found a lump on my right breast … I drove back to Melbourne and called my partner Dylan,” Ms Otten recounted in the video.

The Holland-born Otten revealed Alcott flew home from interstate to race her to side, where they waited for six hours for her to get an ultrasound and a cell sample.

“(The sample) came back and it didn’t seem like it was cancer, but in the month after the lump doubled in size,” she said.

Ms Otten said she then got the lump removed following advice from her breast surgeon, documenting her hospital journey through video.

The lump was revealed to be a rare benign lesion called pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia (PASH), which “luckily” has not come back.

But the sexologist said she would use her story to encourage others to check their breasts more often.

“I was very lucky … there was no cancer in my boob, just a three centimetre round lump,” Ms Otten said.

Ms Otten had the lump removed.

“I’m going to teach (others) how to check your boobies and genitals so we can make sure there are no lumps and bumps in there that we are missing.”

Ms Otten and Alcott, who has won seven Australian Open titles, started dating in 2019, debuting their romance in a cute Instagram post in April that year.
