I read this with interest, I was never sent for mammo''s as here in Ireland it's only done from age fifty. I was forty six when I felt the lump in the shower. I was in a hotel in the Uk at a training weekend for my job and I think knew straight away it was cancer.
Despite this new report I intend to continue self exams regardless and think this report is doing more harm than good by telling people not to bother.
