Breast cancer screening

'Some 5.1 million women aged 53-70 were eligible for breast cancer screening in 2007-08. Of these, 3.9 million (76 per cent) were screened.
In 2008, 7,670 women were diagnosed with breast cancer before the age of 50 and would therefore not have been eligible for screening'.

As I have now reached the appropriate screening age I have today received my first invite for screening.
I intend to be one of the 76%.
