This is ridiculous, my friend died of breast cancer at the age of 33. 50 is too late for some women. This is conditioning us for 0bamacare which will sanction white women for mammograms at the age of 65, while black women should begin by age 40.

Premenopausal women are at the greatest risk of virulent cancer. It needs to be identified early if any survivability is to be expected. Postmenopausal women typically have quite treatable/managable breast cancer. This seems to be indicative of making the value judgement that young women with breast cancer have low survial rates and cost the most money to treat. Therefore, the healthcare gurus have decided to just pass on agressive care. Not unbelievable at all. Welcome to our brave new world.
