About Ned.H.

I've recently had an operation for breast cancer. I'm 73 so it does not really matter at my age. I've had chance to live my life. I really feel for young women and get quite angry as I feel that mammograms should be available, yearly for all women regardless of age. whilst attending the Breast unit I saw so many young women there and feel that statistics must be wrong, stating the high risk age for women being diagnosed with cancer is after 50 most usually after 60. What nonsense.
