Women across Northern Ireland are being urged to have a breast screening for free, as Action Cancer launches its annual Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign.
This year also marks the 40th anniversary of the charity's breast screening programme.
Action Cancer is the only charity in the UK and Ireland which offers this service to women between the aged 40-49 and 70 plus, outside the NHS age range 50-70.
Joanna Currie, one of its Consultant Radiographer's has been speaking to Q Radio.
She says early detection is key to breast cancer, therefore, women should avail of their free mammograms whether they feel ill or not:
Susan Keating, an ambassador for the charity was diagnosed with breast cancer last year after receiving her third mammogram at Action Cancer House in Belfast.
She's hoping her story will encourage other women to get checked:
Over the next few months, Action Cancer's 'Big Bus' will be visiting different areas across Northern Ireland to deliver its services.
