Having a benign cyst made her more aware of the importance of breast screening.

 



And if I was to ask you what are your reasons for attending what would your reasons be?      

Well because I had this cyst, probably if I hadn't have had it I might, I don't know, I might have gone really you know but that's made me more aware to go. 

Well I'd tell them [other people] that they ought to go really [for breast screening], I think everybody ought to go. If it's only for, because I mean some people like you've heard about them and they've had these cancer things and all this, they don't even know they've got them do they?  I was just lucky really that mine, I don't know whether that is the way the cysts go, like stick out like a little lump, you know what I mean, it wasn't nothing, just like a little white lump you know.
