Breast Cancer-change in the health care

The Issue

I feel as a young woman who has had breast cancer and talking to numerous other YOUNG women, it is not screened as much as is should be. 
“Breast Cancer “ is the new cancer with the young women

2019- established 26,000 woman were diagnosed. 5000 of those woman died. 
25% of new cancer diagnosed are breast cancer related per year in Canada,

This is not taken seriously enough though our health care community. It is taking over the number of young women and ,has increased tremendously. 
We need to take another look at the current guidelines of screening so every woman has a chance.

I was 35, stage 2 aggressive form of HER2+ that invaded my lymph nodes. 

Im one of the lucky ones.

Lets make testing young woman normalized and NOT when they are 40+

“Breast Cancer is very common with in our you people” - doctor shook is head when I shared me story at 35.
