Today, we dedicated the Capital Breakfast Show to Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Taking place today, Friday 17th October, on National Mammography Day, Capital Breakfast with Jordan North, Chris Stark and Sian Welby dedicated the show to a very important cause.

Following the success of Balls to Monday in March, in which we highlighted the importance of checking your testicles after our very own Chris Stark was diagnosed with testicular cancer, Feel Yourself Friday invited listeners, colleagues and celebrity guests to share their personal stories.

We teamed up with CoppaFeel!, the UK charity that encourages young people to regularly check their chests and get to know what’s “normal” for them and we pointed listeners to their Self-Checkout online tool which guides you step-by-step through a self-check and helps build confidence in spotting changes.

They also have a helpful reminder tool so you can remember to check regularly.

Capital Breakfast was joined by the amazing Dr Nighat, who instructed the best way to feel your own chest, giving a detailed guide to Sian Welby who conducted a thorough check live on the radio. Watch Dr Nighat's instructions below:

We had hundreds of listeners reach out with messages sharing experiences of their own and we also spoke to Charlotte Sullivan, who works on our sister station LBC, who explained she was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 36, after finding a lump in her breast the night before her 36th birthday.

Charlotte has had two surgeries, radiotherapy and chemotherapy and revealed she's now on medication for the next 10 years, admitting her cancer was stage three and had already spread into her lymph nodes.

Watch Charlotte share her story on Capital Breakfast below.
