TY Adobea and Breast Cancer Now for sharing this story. The Wirral and Chester Breast Screening Programme encourages everyone who finds symptoms and signs like Adobea around, on their breast and chest to visit their GP as soon as possible.

'In September 2016, I found a lump in my breast about the size of a grape. I want to my GP and expressed concern but, after being examined by a nurse, was told it was just an ordinary breast lump and that I should only come back if it became painful or discoloured.

'Towards the end of 2017, I noticed the lump was getting larger, was warm to the touch, and that my breast was becoming discoloured and dimpled. I thought I might have some kind of muscle strain from swimming, but I still went to the GP. Again, I was told not to worry.

'For ages, I was living with this thing and - because they had said it was ok - I was just carrying on with my life. But there was always something at the back of my mind. I kept looking at it in the mirror and in the shower and could feel it getting bigger and bigger.'

Adobea first went to her GP with a lump in 2016, but wasn’t diagnosed with breast cancer until it has already spread. She shares her story with us as part of the Fashion Targets Breast Cancer Campaign and tells us how cancer has changed her as a person, and how she’s determined to stay positive.
