This Breast Cancer Patient’s Picture Could Save Lives

Mother-of-four Lisa Royle, from Manchester, who is battling cancer has shared a photograph of her breast on Facebook to raise awareness of an unusual sign of the disease – a dimple.


Lisa Royle was due to undergo a mastectomy, but before the surgery she put a picture of her breast online. She wrote: ‘Ok so I never thought I’d post a boob picture on Facebook but I thought I would before it gets chopped off next week. ‘So here it is….. This all that I found on my boob. Very subtle dimples underneath that could easily be missed when we’re all rushing round getting ready in a morning. ‘Please take time to look at your boobs. It could save you’re life’.
Her husband, Craig, posted on her picture on Facebook yesterday saying: ‘Lisa is out of surgery and doing really well. Bit groggy from the morphine but in good spirits and should be home later this evening. The support has blown us away so a massive thanks to you all.’ He added: ‘This will make people more aware of the slightest change and each and every one off you deserved credit so thank you’ We send our best wishes for her recovery and the rest of her battle with the disease.
