I feel it is very unfair that only women between the ages of 50 and 59 are in the priority group for breast screening (A Booklet That Can Save A Woman's Life, May 19).
The article states that every year 220 women are diagnosed with breast cancer and that a breast cancer diagnosis is given every two minutes in Europe. Every woman is at risk of breast cancer, some more than others. Breast cancer does not discriminate. Any woman that has a history of breast cancer in the family should be included in the list of women for screening.
I hope that someone will add to the priority list those of us that know we are more at risk than others.
