The MP is urging women to get a mammogram as soon as they're asked
Labour MP Dawn Butler has told the BBC she has undergone surgery after being diagnosed with breast cancer at a routine check-up.
"A mammogram saved my life," she told the BBC. "Without a mammogram, my cancer wouldn't have been discovered." However, she was told the cancer was contained in one area, and they should be able to "just remove it". The surgeon told her she would require an operation "to cut it out". "This was probably about midnight. And I'm thinking 'oh my goodness', and I just started feeling myself overheating."Breast screening uses a breast x-ray, called a mammogram, to look for cancer that may be too small to see, or feel.
The NHS says anyone with any symptom of breast cancer should see a GP - even if you have recently had a clear breast scan.A leading charity estimated almost one million women in the UK missed vital breast screening during the first coronavirus lockdown, when programmes were paused.
