The incidence of breast cancer increases with age. Women over 50 have a much higer incidence of breast cancer. I don't have time right now, but I will try to find the statistics about it.
You are pointing out antedotal cases once again. Yes, I know a woman who got inflammatory breast cancer at age 26. She died last year at age 40. I know another woman who got inflammatory breast cancer at age 55 and she is a nine year survivor. The statics for IBC is only 20% have a 5 year survival rate. Last year, my sister got breast cancer at age 44. She had a mammogram which showed something. Well, the thing the mammogram showed was nothing, but the MRI she had showed something else. The chances of finding a breast cancer via MRI are about 1 in 500.
I also know a woman who got colon cancer, with no family history, at age 41. She was diagnosed last March. It was stage 4 and she died about 3 weeks ago. she never had a "first" colonscopy, because she wasn't old enough.
My point is this, everyone knows someone whose cases fall outside of the statistics.
I don't have to defend the Obama Administration. No matter how long we have this discussion, you will continue to go on and on, without having carefully read the recommendations.
