Closed Lower the age for breast cancer screening and make it more frequent

Closed on

My mum was diagnosed with Breast cancer after a routine screening which showed a 50p size lump in the middle of her breast.
My mum was diagnosed with stage 4 terminal cancer that had spread to her liver and lungs. She later passed away.
If I can help anyone it’s worth a try

There are currently 454,000 cases of breast cancer every year in the UK and 1 in 8 people are likely to contract the disease in their life.
If we can find it early we can not only save peoples lives but save the NHS money
