A mum "fell off her chair in shock" after a routine exam was trialled in her area.
Laura Meehan, from West Kirkby, was picked randomly for a breast screening trial amongst younger women in Wirral. But as she played with the idea of not going, her loved ones told her to go.
A short while later, after a trip to Glasgow with her husband and children, Laura received a letter urging her to come in for further tests as she said she "fell off the chair" in shock, adding: "You never think it will happen to you". Having been diagnosed with breast cancer, the now-56-year-old underwent reconstruction surgery.
