Test spared 50% of patients chemo

Linda Hannan had just come home from holidays with her family when she felt a little uncomfortable in her left breast.

“It was a bit sore but it wasn’t even a lump — more like a pinch — and I thought at first it might just have been a bit of pressure from the wire in my bra,” she said

Ms Hannan, 51, from Celbridge, Co Kildare said: “If it wasn’t for my wonderful husband, I probably would have left it because it was tiny — smaller than a fingernail.”
