With women under assault by governmental panels declaring they do not need to be screened for breast cancer until the age of fifty, we need your support of the Before Forty Initiative now more than ever!
Join the Before forty Initiative
- Increase awareness to young women about the risk of breast cancer. Inform them of the better prognosis and treatment options if their cancer is found early.
- Make the age of 35 be the standard for baseline mammogram. Make the age of 30 the standard for high risk groups.
- Get insurance companies to cover baseline mammograms and subsequent follow-up diagnostic tests if warranted, including ultra-sound and breast MRI.
- Increase awareness for African American and Hispanic women about Triple Negative Breast Cancer. Educate young women that African American and Hispanic women are at a higher risk of TNBC and have a poorer prognosis. The only way they can beat the disease, should they get it, is if it is found early.
