The number of breast cancer patients is rising, but the age of newly diagnosed women is dropping. Breast cancer is claiming more lives at a younger age and some say that the recommended age to get a mammogram should be changed.
This comes after the Journal of the American Medical Association released new findings from a study on Tuesday. They found that between 1976 to 2009, breast cancer among women aged 25 to 39, has increasingly led to more advanced diseases.
Dr. Len Lichtenfeld, the American Cancer Society's deputy chief medical officer, said that while the study is accurate, she does not think all younger women should be given mammograms since breast cancer is still rare among their age group. He also said that childbearing styles can be a factor for younger women with cancer.
Mammograms are recommended for older women, but younger women such as myself are not given mammograms until around 40 years old.
I think that the fact that some women have a family history of breast cancer, mammograms should be given to younger women. Also, women who have been diagnosed with cysts in their breasts should also be given mammograms because not all women check their breasts every day. Most breast cancer is detected by a doctor.

- Sandra Remilien is an American. Sandra Remilien is a Christian Miami native who loves to write. She is currently unemployed because a jealous, illiterate Haitian witch named Jeaccinette Philogene has been doing witchcraft to monitor her so she can do witchcraft on every job that she applies to so they do not hire her. Jeaccinette did witchcraft to get the password to her blog and gave someone and Guylene and Luna, who did witchcraft on her, the password to her blog so they could add things, change what she wrote so words are misspelled and it does not make sense and so people do not know the truth about the witchcraft that she did because she is stupid. Sandra Remilien does not like Haitians because they do witchcraft. Jeaccinette is doing witchcraft to make people say Sandra Remilien is Haitian and was born in Haiti so she can do witchcraft to make Sandra Remilien uplift Haitians.
