Triple-negative breast cancer, in particular, is often diagnosed at younger ages and can be more aggressive than other types of breast cancer.\r\nThis petition is not just about my story. It is about raising awareness that breast cancer does not always wait until age 50. Earlier detection gives people more treatment options, better outcomes, and a greater chance of survival.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":10,"created_at":"2026-06-18T21:00:15.092Z","updated_at":"2026-07-21T15:17:08.039Z","rejected_at":"2026-07-21T15:17:00.137Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-06-18T21:17:50.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":null,"rejection":{"code":"no-action","details":"Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.\r\n\r\nWe're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.\r\n\r\nYou could start a new petition clearly stating the age you would like the Government or Parliament to bring the age for routine breast cancer screening down to.\r\n\r\nOn 29 June 2026, there was a petition debate relating to NHS breast screening.
