Recommends that women with a family history of breast cancer have breast screening.

 



I'd recommend them [women] to go, because if I wasn't being screened there's no way I'd have found the lump, even after they'd detected it I came home and still couldn't feel the lump. So I don't know how long it would have been if it had got left, before it was noticeable. If it was growing inwards I probably wouldn't have noticed it. So I'd definitely say to go for screening. If people have got a family history I'd say definitely seriously think about being screened. And obviously with the older age group as well, you know I've said it before, if I hadn't been screened I wouldn't have known I'd had it. So to me it's the thing that saved me really, very positive, yes.
