4 years ago, a routine breast screening saved my mum’s life. 💗
Today, standing beside her, I’m reminded that early detection turns fear into hope and love into more time together.

Please don’t miss your screening — it could be everything. x

Breast Screening Saves Lives 🌸

In the UK, women aged 50 to 70 are invited to go for free breast screening every 3 years. These screening mammograms can pick up breast cancer, even before there are any signs or symptoms. And the sooner breast cancer is found, the more likely it is to respond well to treatment.

For people like Clare, (pictured below), who had no symptoms, these mammograms can be lifesaving.

“It wasn’t obvious like a lump, it was such a shock to me and the whole family. I’m so grateful that I went for that screening. I really am the person without symptoms whose life was probably saved by going to that routine mammogram.”

The potential for breast screening to save more lives is huge. It finds most breast cancers early when chance of survival is 98%.

Breast Screening 🎀

Did you know most women with breast cancer do not have a family history of the disease? It’s really important to get checked. Between ages 50-71 you’ll be invited for breast screening every 3 years. Around 4 out of 5 breast cancers are found in women aged over 50. Please make sure you attend.
