A man from Wirral has spoken about his breast cancer diagnosis after finding a pea-sized lump in his chest.

Philip Alderson has now been given the all-clear after treatment but he urges men to get checked out if they find anything unusual for them.

Philip was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in July 2016 at the age of 44.
