Cancer symptoms to look for as doctors try to make Sarah Harding's final wish come true
A major cancer research project in memory of singer Sarah Harding will look for early signs of breast cancer in young women.
Harding was treated at the world-leading Christie cancer hospital in Manchester. Now, Catherine Craven-Howe, 33, from Hale, is the first person to take part in the new trial. Eight to 10 weeks after her appointment, Ms Craven-Howe will receive feedback about her risk of breast cancer. Later, she will undertake a psychological impact questionnaire and receive a breast cancer risk statement at end of the study, likely to be in 2025.
These can be combined with other breast cancer risk factors such as when a woman’s periods started, alcohol intake and use of the contraceptive pill. The density of breast tissue may also play a part in the level of risk of getting the disease. “While there is research available in the over 40s, this will be the first study in young women. With breast cancer still the leading cause of death in women under 50, we need to find ways to identify those most at risk and offer them breast screening to detect cancers earlier, when treatment is more likely to be successful.”
