Marina Dalglish urges women to attend breast screening appointments

Nearly two decades after being diagnosed with breast cancer following a routine mammogram, Marina Dalglish is urging women to attend their breast screening appointments when they are invited.

Marina returned to the site in Southport where she attended her first mammogram in March 2003, to officially open one of two new breast screening trailers.

The Liverpool, Sefton and Knowsley breast screening service (LSKBSS), provided by Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (LUHFT), has replaced mobile trailers in Hoghton Street, Southport, and at St Chad’s Centre, Kirkby, with new state-of-the-art facilities designed to help increase uptake of mammograms in the region.

Marina, who has raised millions of pounds over the years to support cancer patients in Merseyside through the Marina Dalglish Appeal, said that attending her breast screening appointment saved her life.
