Annual Breast Ultrasounds for Women Under 40


Annual Breast Ultrasounds for Women Under 40
The Issue
I was diagnosed with Grade 3 Stage 3 Breast Cancer at age 27 in 2015.
I found a tiny lump no bigger than a pea.
The mammogram showed less than 1mm of the biggest cyst.
The ultrasound showed 5 tumours; the biggest being over 5cm in diameter.
I hear more and more stories of women whose Cancer would have been missed if not for an ultrasound for a different reason.
The mental stress I go through at each Mammogram annually, wondering if theyve missed something is horrific. Annual ultrasounds instead would negate that mental issue.
Join with me to petition the government to lower the age of annual checks to 20 and to ultrasounds.
