What symptoms did you have and how did you find out you had breast cancer?
3:02
So it was really funny.
3:03
So I was a, well, it wasn't really funny at all, but I was, as you said earlier, a producer on The Lorraine Show, which meant that I worked very, very early mornings.
3:14
And I was having a shower, it was about 5am, got out of the shower, dried myself and I was putting moisturiser on and I noticed a lump on my right boob.
3:24
And it genuinely didn't panic me because I thought, I don't have any family history of anything.
3:31
I'm relatively fit and well.
3:34
Don't smoke, don't drink that much.

What is that for people who are
27:35
Because we'd had the, the result back, hadn't we? Before the court case, before any of this, that, that she wasn't gonna get HER2.
27:43
Of what I might do with that extra life.
27:49
It's just that it's a dream now, hey.
27:51
It's off the table.
27:53
It's not gonna happen.
27:55
Um, like, it feels like a real sucker punch.

12:28
the very least, if somebody doesn't reply to one of my emails that day, I know, well, at least I have done a workout.
12:35
I've got hot and sweaty and I feel good for that.
12:38
Can you take us back to 2018? What happened? So I was getting ready for work one morning.
12:47
It was about five o'clock in the morning, had a shower, jumped out and I was putting moisturiser on my body and I stood in front of a mirror and I found a lump on my right boob just underneath my nipple.
12:59
And...
13:01
I thought I actually wasn't worried because I thought, well, that's not going to be cancer because I'm 39, relatively fit and well, no family history of cancer at all.

So the Change and Check campaign, tell me all about that.
