Tell us: how have you been affected by the CoppaFeel! breast cancer awareness campaign?

The founder of the charity CoppaFeel!, Kris Hallenga, which raises awareness of checking for early signs of breast cancer in young women, has died aged 38.

She was 23 when she was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and started the charity to encourage young women to check their breasts.

We would like to hear from anyone who has been affected by the breast cancer awareness campaign. Did it prompt you or members of your family to follow up on any early symptoms? If you were diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer, what was your experience like and did you seek treatment?
