My wife is 78 and, only for the fact that we took part in the NHS Galleri trial which was set up to provide early cancer diagnosis, she was fortunate to have her early hormonal breast cancer identified in March this year and then fast tracked to see a breast consultant/surgeon to have a successful mastectomy operation in June. If this had not been the case then who knows what the outcome might have been!
Philip supported: Continue to invite women over the age of 71 for routine mammogramsI was diagnosed with Stage 3 Breast Cancer in 2010 . All women need help to get treatment as early as possible to increase their chances of Survival .
Louise supported: Continue to invite women over the age of 71 for routine mammogramsI’d just assumed that a mammogram wasn’t necessary after 71 and wouldn’t have asked for one. If the petition achieves nothing else, you will have alerted many people. Thank you so much!
Kate supported: Continue to invite women over the age of 71 for routine mammogramsI had breast cancer at 60 years old so this is very important for ladies to be able to still be checked. Cancer can happen anytime in your life
Christine supported: Continue to invite women over the age of 71 for routine mammogramsAt 72 I was refused a mammogram and was told by doctor I didn't have a lump. I had a thickening. Turned out he was a trainee and my wonderful doctor picked it up. Within weeks I had operation and straight onto chemo. Don't take no for an answer.
Chris supported: Continue to invite women over the age of 71 for routine mammogramsWhen I was diagnosed last year 2023, I was 73 and hadn't had a screening since I was 67 as the invite automatically stopped on my 70th Birthday. I consider myself one of the lucky ones as I thought something was amiss and persisted with my GP.
Jackie supported: Continue to invite women over the age of 71 for routine mammogramsThis needs to be done NOW
Margaret supported: Continue to invite women over the age of 71 for routine mammogramsMy Mom and my Sister-in Law both died from breast cancer ,i am 71yrs old now but i still worry about breast cancer ,when you get your Mamogram clearance it's such a relief, i'd like to keep it going.
Vivienne supported: Continue to invite women over the age of 71 for routine mammogramsAs a breast cancer survivor I would feel so much safer knowing that screening would continue past 71. When treatment stops one feels alone and vulnerable, and left with the doubt that the cancer could return. No one should have to live with that worry.
Judy supported: Continue to invite women over the age of 71 for routine mammogramsHad breast cancer which was picked up by a mammogram I had no lump so I would never had known so mammograms are so important whatever your age
