What people are saying
This has obviously been a huge shock, and I'm so grateful to have found it early.
I don't often share my personal life online, but if this post will make just 1 person check their breasts, or make that appointment they've been putting off, it's worth sharing. Please don't ignore changes to your body.
Lara, sending you so much love and strength. We are here for you.
