She had no symptoms and felt completely well when she received her invitation for a mammogram. However, further tests following her screening led to a diagnosis of breast cancer.\nDeborah shares her experience of receiving the news, the treatment that followed, and the emotional impact of living with cancer. She reflects on how a routine appointment may have saved her life and explains why she decided to document her journey by writing a book, Cancer Can Go and Do One!! Through her writing, Deborah hopes to offer reassurance, practical advice and hope to others who may be facing a similar diagnosis.\nJoining the conversation are Mansi Tara and Yvonne Tapper from the North East London breast screening service, who explain how the NHS Breast Screening Programme works, who is eligible, what happens during a mammogram, and why screening remains one of the most effective ways of finding breast cancer early.\nYou can buy Deborah's book here!\nhttps://www.amazon.co.uk/Cancer-Can-Go-Do-One-ebook/dp/B0HJ67H2LG/\nLet us know what you think!\nPlease complete our short feedback form to let us know what you think of our podcasts (it will only take five minutes to complete).","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/pNSBE06UHjfVWKNkVK7BI5Bn_Oc1g4r5BX9MjTclG-Y/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8yMjE0/YjcxZTdkYmZiZTdj/MzZmMGQyYTliMzU1/MTQ3Ni5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
