What the petition asks
I had breast cancer last year and I wasn't 50 so had not been called for screening, I found my lump and was lucky but I met so many women under 50 that wasn't so lucky , I had an operation and radiopherapy and I am on tablets for 5 years, but i feel the screening should be lowered to save lives.
