A Dublin woman who was diagnosed with breast cancer is urging other women to "keep checking yourself and go with your gut" as part of the Irish Cancer's Society's Breast Cancer Awareness month this October.
Amanda Kennedy, 59, is originally from Walkinstown and is living in Clondalkin with her husband Noel and son Oisin. Last December, Amanda found a lump in her left breast.
She told Dublin Live: "Christmas week I was sitting on the side of the bed and I checked myself, I've always checked myself and I just felt 'oh this isn't right' when I was putting my bra on. I had another check again and there was a lump there, so I rang the doctor straight away and she saw me straight away on December 22."
