Rejected petition I would like breast cancer screening to be offered from the age of 40.

Many diagnosis of cancer can not be picked up feeling a lump and are diagnosed through other tests for other conditions which can often be too late. Earlier screenings from 40 would prevent this from happening. Instead of the current 50 -71.
