Breast screening: Personal experiences
Kent and Medway Cancer Alliance, in collaboration with SEK and women from minority ethnic backgrounds, have produced a video sharing personal experiences of women around breast screening and self-checking.
Breast screening: Personal experiences
Why this matters
Breast screening can mean different things to different people. For some it may bring reassurance, while for others it may create uncertainty or anxiety.
Hearing directly from women with lived experience can help to:
- increase understanding of the breast screening process
- build confidence in attending appointments
- highlight the importance of self-awareness and self-checking
- support more informed conversations about breast health
- share your views.
Watch the video
The video highlights a range of perspectives on attending breast screening, what people can expect, and the importance of being aware of breast changes through self-checking.
Share your views
Kent and Medway Cancer Alliance would like to know if the breast screening video has been helpful to you, and why.
