A group of 23 women from Greater Manchester who have been affected by breast cancer have stripped off to raise awareness in a Calendar Girls-inspired charity calendar. One of the women who got their kit off for the shoot is mum-of-two Jo Kerfoot, who put her cancer symptoms down to breastfeeding.
Despite being a spin instructor, she became tired all the time, barely able to keep up with her own classes. She experienced nipple discharge, even though she'd stopped breastfeeding a few years earlier, while an unusual patch of skin formed on her left breast.
It wasn't until she saw an episode of ITV 's Lorraine, where they were talking about breast cancer symptoms, that she thought she had better get herself checked out. She was eventually diagnosed with breast cancer, and despite a mastectomy, it returned a year later.
