Lower the age for when you are first called to 40 and provide funding to carry out Mammograms Annually instead of every Three Years

Early detection is key and the prevalence of Breast Cancer in young patients is rising I am a Chemotherapy Nurse and working in this Clinical Setting for 8 Years and I have seen a rise in Breast Cancer in Patients under the Age of 40 increase.
