A mum who was diagnosed with breast cancer has said she was inspired to see her GP after hearing testimonies of survivors on the radio.
Adrienn Rozner had felt a lump on her left breast for some time but only had it seen by a GP after hearing the stories last October during Breast Cancer Awareness month.
She was referred for a biopsy at the hospital and, five weeks later, she was told she had cancer in her left breast.
Rozner, from Bournemouth, is now backing Cancer Research UK scientists using artificial intelligence (AI) to help spot more cancers earlier.
The 41-year-old said because some of her friends going through perimenopause had developed cysts in their breasts, she never gave the lump much thought.
“I didn’t think I could have cancer because I was only 40 and had a healthy lifestyle,” she said.
“I have always been very conscious about my health and what I eat. I don’t smoke and don’t drink alcohol. I never thought that I would have my own journey with cancer.”
Rozner, who is a mum-of-two, is now cancer free and is speaking out during Breast Cancer Awareness Month in a bid to rally public support.
By 2040 around 69,900 women are expected to be diagnosed with the disease every year, according to Cancer Research UK.
