Repro Free: 30/09/2014<br /> Breast Cancer Survivour Tereasa Doran from Mullingar joined the Irish Cancer Society and cancer campaigners from across Ireland as they submit a petition to Government, calling on the Minister for Health to take action and include extending the breast cancer screening programme for women aged 65-69 in the HSE&rsquo;s Services Plan for 2015. The Government said the extension of BreastCheck would take place during 2014 but then made a decision to defer it. At least eighty-seven lives are being lost to breast cancers every year due to the delay in screening the upper age group of women.  Picture Andres Poveda
