It would have been sooner but I was away, l booked my appointment online so I was seen the next morning after I arrived home.

I had told a friend so they thankfully pushed me into going to see the doctor.

Early detection is key! I'd rather be called a hypochondriac than a victim.

I didn't know how to answer this. I felt a change in my breast two 3 months ago. But as they are a lumpy law unto themselves, I was unsure and didn't get it checked out. Then I went to self check the same place and the lump was very palpable. Straight to the doctors the next day.

Saw GP next day. Mammogram two weeks later, diagnosis a week after that
