When gymnastics club owner Marie Ward found a "dent" in her left breast while having a shower, she immediately booked an appointment with her GP.
Following closer examination by the doctor, the mum-of-two was urgently referred for an ultrasound and biopsy before being given the devastating news that she had cancer.
"I knew straight away it wasn't good news when the nurse's face changed and she started stroking my arm," said Marie, recalling the events of May 2020.
