A mum-of-two who was given a routine mammogram a year earlier than she expected has spoken out after the scan revealed a cancerous lump hidden so deep it was not noticeable by touch.
Sheelagh Davidson, 57, said she wasn't worried when she went for the scan, but was 'shocked' when she was told she had stage two breast cancer after experiencing 'no symptoms'.
The retired school secretary, who lives in Manchester with her husband, Stuart, says she was 'very lucky' to be invited for the scan a year earlier than expected after moving from Lincoln. She now wants to raise awareness to help other women be diagnosed sooner.
