Female staff from renowned local solicitors have taken a leading role on the importance of self-examination as part of a new initiative to increase awareness of hereditary breast cancer in the town.

Graysons, a firm renowned for championing the careers of female solicitors, have teamed up with radio DJ Becky Measures and her mother Wendy Watson MBE on their new ‘Mother Daughter Breast of Friends’ podcast.

Various members of staff from the legal firm participated in an episode dedicated to the importance of breast self-examination as a way to detect early signs of the disease.

Wendy Watson made history 30 years ago when she became the first woman in Britain to have both breasts removed in preventative surgery. Her daughter, Becky Measures, underwent the same procedure in 2004 after finding out she had an 80 to 90 percent risk of developing breast cancer.

97% of people who carry a faulty gene still don’t know and the show aims to raise awareness and navigate the complexities of genetics.

Bradie Pell, partner at Graysons, said: “With a significant number of female staff in our firm, this episode highlighting the importance of self-examination truly struck a chord with us. If our participation can inspire others to become more self-aware and detect any changes early on, then our partnership becomes even more meaningful."
