"Heather Mills has revealed that a skiing accident led to the discovery of a benign tumour on her leg. The charity campaigner is currently preparing to race for the British Disabled Ski Team, but has suffered numerous injuries in the last year, with one just prior to Christmas leading to the health scare.   &amp;quot;An MRI scan picked up a tumour in the top of my left leg, which is the same one I had amputated below the knee,&amp;quot; she told Hello magazine. &amp;quot;I had to go back into the MRI machine and they put a dye into it. &amp;quot;Doctors said [the tumour] had been there for some time. It all happened very quickly. Thankfully, it was all fine. Doctors told me the tumour was benign, not cancerous.&amp;quot; Speaking about her sporting ambitions, Mills said: &amp;quot;It is very exciting. I&amp;#039;m over the moon. There will be 100 of us racing. A top ten finish would be fantastic, but I am hoping to get into the top five and dream of making the podium.  &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve always been sporty and wondered what it is like to represent your country and ultimately compete in the Olympics.&amp;quot; On her injuries - which include a fractured shoulder and broken thumb - the 44-year-old said: &amp;quot;I was hospitalised five times in 2011 because of my skiing. Fracturing my left shoulder twice, snapping my anterior cruciate ligament once and smashing my scapula into five pieces. &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t mean to be accident prone, but my excuse is if you really want to get somewhere you have to go full gas. Luckily I&amp;#039;m a quick healer.&amp;quot; The full interview appears in the new issue of Hello, out now. &amp;gt; Heather Mills: &amp;#039;Piers Morgan is using me as a scapegoat&amp;#039; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
