Local woman urges others to check their breasts regularly for early breast cancer diagnosis and treatment

With Breast Cancer Awareness Month running through October, Sue Makin, a grandmother from Aintree, has spoken of her “excellent” NHS treatment at The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre after she was diagnosed with breast cancer.

Her aggressive cancer started with a small breast lump and some dimpling and developed in just two weeks, but she is now cancer-free.

Sue, who is now a patient ambassador for Cheshire and Merseyside Cancer Alliance, is telling her story to encourage other women to watch for the signs and symptoms of the disease and to contact their GP practice if they have any concerns.
