Celina had to go through a lumpectomy surgery followed by six weeks of radiotherapy in Belfast
A Northern Ireland woman has opened up about her shock cancer diagnosis after attending a routine appointment.
"After a couple of weeks, I got a letter to come back to the clinic as something had showed up in my mammogram. When I went back they did another mammogram and an ultrasound. Not long after that they told me that I had an early form of breast cancer. Individuals aged 50 to 70 who are registered with a GP as female and live in Northern Ireland are invited for a breast screening mammogram every three years. All women will be offered a breast screening appointment for the first time before the age of 53.
"I would encourage all those who are invited to consider attending for screening. If breast cancer is found early, there is a better chance that treatment will be successful.
