What the petition asks
Currently the age for routine mammogram screening is 50 years old. But I would like there to be funding so it can be provided to adults of any age.
At the moment routine screening is available from age 50, but is younger if you have a family history.
My recent mammogram in April showed i had cancer and it spread to a lymph node. Im 58yrs.
But then it got me thinking at the current time people can have a mammogram from the age of 50. There is thousands diagnosed with breast cancer under the age of 50.
