Demi breaks down in tears
The surgery comes a couple weeks after Demi was told the lump on her neck could be cancerous.
The 22-year-old broke down in tears talking about it on Instagram Stories, "I was sat there in this waiting room and it was full of old people and I was the only young one there."
"I thought I'm so young for God's sake."

Demi continued, "I know loads of women go through this, I'll be fine."
"It might not even be cancer but they've got to cut it out to find out. I'm shocked at the moment."
"I'll be ok, when I get it removed it'll be fine."
Demi urged her followers to get their lumps checked if they're concerned.
'Please don't put off getting lumps checked, if appointments keep getting cancelled then you need to chase it up.'
'I was supposed to have this appointment six months ago,' she revealed.
'At my scan they said, 'everything looks fine,' and went to send me on my way.'
'I challenged it and asked if they could do more, in which they said 'oh well we can test the fluid if you want us to?''
'Thank god I asked as it was the fluid that can be potentially cancerous. Always push!'
