I think Mammo's should be routine for all women all over the world far younger than fifty, the majority of the women I've met with bc over my six years have all been dx far earlier than this including myself! I was lucky I found the tumour while showering but it was already invasive and spread to the nodes by then!!
Early detection is vital is my message!!
