A Co Fermanagh mum has urged women to get their breasts checked after she was diagnosed with cancer, despite not finding anything unusual herself.
Bridie Traynor was 49 when she was told she had breast cancer in 2019, and the news came as a shock to the Roslea native who had never noticed any changes to her breasts when she self-examined.
After her sister and another local woman had battled the illness, Bridie was encouraged by friends to go and get screened on the Action Cancer Big Bus, which travels to towns across Northern Ireland and screens women outside of the usual NHS screening bracket, for women aged 40-49 and over 70 years.
