Rejected petition Improving survival rates of Cancer

More details

Thousands of patients are being diagnosed too late as they are being fobbed off by "Doctors" for having another illness. 4 people I know, Including my dad in the last month alone have been told it's too late to do anything. From diagnosis to his death was a month! Doctors should be looking at worst case scenario ruling out cancer first rather than go up the list, by which time this is too late. We could be saving a lot of lives by doing this or giving patients more time. Please help me get this looked at by government.
