Fund testing for ovarian cancer every 3 years

Closed 56 signatures

What the petition asks

The Government should fund testing that could show up early signs of ovarian cancer through the blood or pelvic examination every 3 years to look for changes similar to cervical screening.
I lost a very dear friend to ovarian cancer at a very young age and I want to try and change the way government deal with ovarian cancer detection finding ways of picking it up a lot earlier and testing straight away when people show at least 2 or more symptoms I’m angry that ovarian cancer doesn’t seem to get looked at as closely as breast or cervical cancer when it is actually called the silent killer government needs to change this.
