In it I talk about the years of misdiagnosis before I was finally diagnosed with myeloma at St George's, finding a breast lump during lockdown in 2020, and what I have learned along the way.
The person behind the numbers
HQIP works with data that shows the NHS what is working and what is not. As I say in the video, data is extremely important, but speaking to patients tells you something different. It tells you what it feels like. I want to be the person behind the numbers.
Early detection saves lives
The campaign message this year is simple: early detection saves lives. My breast cancer was found because I checked myself. Please check yours, and if something does not feel right, keep asking until you get answers.
