Gemma’s journey of discovery began six years ago, after finding a lump in her breast. As she was just 34 at the time, she ignored it for several months as she felt that she was too young for it to be anything serious. But while on holiday with a friend, she was rubbing cream on her skin and felt the lump again. This time it felt larger and “quite significant”, despite the fact that she was a “big-breasted lady”.
