Regular breast screening can find breast cancer before you feel it or notice any symptoms.
If you are a woman, aged 50 or over, you'll be invited for breast screening every 3 years, until your 71st birthday.
If you think you should have breast screening, but you are not invited automatically by the time you are 53, contact your local breast screening service.

Emergency services are responding to a major incident in the Crumpsall area of Greater Manchester this morning.
There is currently no evidence of any incidents beyond this area, but please stay safe and vigilant. Follow official channels for information, such as the Police and trusted news outlets, and avoid sharing speculation.
Our thoughts are with those affected. As more details emerge in the news, it can continue to be traumatic and triggering.
This advice from Greater Manchester Resilience Hub can be helpful to look after yourself and your family:
- Remind yourself that having strong feelings and thoughts is understandable and there is no right way to react.
- Keep to a routine - try and get back to what you would usually be doing. If this feels difficult take it step by step.
- Look after yourself (eat well, get enough sleep and exercise).
Use your senses to sooth yourself – candles, soft lighting, music, soothing smells on your cuff or strong sweets can all help you feel more grounded.
- If you feel anxious remind yourself this is a reaction to what has happened.
- Do things to make yourself feel safe. Have things around you that make you feel happy and spend time with people (or pets).
- Take a break from social media and the news if this feels overwhelming.
- Share positive ways people can respond and support the community
If you still find yourself struggling, please reach out to your GP or local mental health services.
