What the petition asks
Many young women and men with no family history die of advanced breast cancer each year because their cancer goes undetected for too long. Please reduce the screening age to 30 to save hundreds of lives
I was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer in June 2020. By June 2022 it had spread to my bones and became stage 4. I have no co-morbidities or family history. Earlier screening would have saved my life and countless others
