After a double mastectomy and reconstruction, I personally understand the importance of having regular checks for early diagnosis.

Tanya is also another survivor and this year marks her 5yr milestone. Here’s to many more years to come for you. This is a reminder for all women & men to have their breast checks and a timely reminder to see your GP for all health checks. #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth
