A Marysville, Washington woman says her love of potato chips led to a discovery that may have saved her life.
Kristine Moore told the Everett Herald that she has eaten Ruffles potato chips every day for the past 20 years.
In February, a sharp fragment of a chip poked her tonsil. The next day, she felt like she was coming down with something and went to the doctor.
They tested her for strep, and it came back negative. But the doctor didn't like the look of her tonsils and took a biopsy. The results came back abnormal, and after further testing, they found a cancerous tumor.
Doctors say it was caught early.
She starts chemotherapy on April 25 and hopes she won't have to give up her chip habit.
