Margie,

I can see through your words how upset you're over this and am so sorry. I live in Ireland and the routine free screening including mammo's start at 50 and always have. of course if someone younger is concerned they can of course be referred for one sooner by their family Dr which is what happened in my case at 46.
I hope your fears are ungrounded in the future and maybe people are looking at the worst case scenario in view of this recent announcement. Just wanted to let you know I'm sorry you're so worried and upset
