Women were taught how to check for symptoms of breast cancer at a roadshow in Watford last week.

Breast Cancer Care staff and trained volunteers were on board the bus, which parked at Asda in the Odhams Industrial Estate on Thursday and Friday, providing breast health information and encouraging women of all ages and backgrounds to check regularly for any unusual changes.

The mobile service, funded through the official charity partnership between Breast Cancer Care and The Football Association, is touring England to raise awareness of the signs and symptoms of breast cancer.

Knowing what warning signs to look for can lead to earlier detection of breast cancer.

This can be crucial in providing more effective treatment and, ultimately, saving lives.

Davinia Green, head of breast awareness and early detection at Breast Cancer Care, said: "Anyone can be at risk of breast cancer, no matter what their age, gender or ethnicity, so it’s really important that people are aware of any unusual changes in their breasts, and act quickly if they are worried about anything."
