Lower the age for Breast Cancer screening on the NHS from 50 to 30
5000 women under the age of 45 are diagnosed in the UK each year. Breast Cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer for adults between the ages of 25 - 49. More and more adults are taken in the prime of their lives from this form of cancer often leaving young families as well as loved ones behind.
