Petition Screening for Cancer available to everyone over the age of 40 in the U.K

Hello my name is Diane Virden. On 6th July 2015 my husband Simon Virden died of Cancer. He was only 42 yrs old. We had no warning signs. From diagnosis to his passing it was less than 2 weeks. We couldn't prepare for anything and explaining to our son his father was going to die didn't seem real.
