Marks & Spencer is putting new signs into store fitting rooms across the UK after one of its workers was diagnosed with breast cancer. Lucy Dawson, 24, who works at an M&S in Tamworth, pushed for the change after coming up with the idea at a bra fitting, following chemotherapy treatment.
She realised the fitting rooms were an ideal place to share guidance on breast cancer symptoms - yet there weren't any signs about what to look for displayed anywhere. Lucy said: "So many people only associate breast cancer with a lump, when in fact there are so many other symptoms.
"I don’t think I would know all the symptoms of breast cancer if I hadn’t gone through it myself." Now, new signage will be rolled out to every cubicle in the women’s and lingerie fitting rooms at 110 stores after Lucy pitched the idea directly to M&S chief executive Stuart Machin, reported Birmingham Live.
