Every single school should have a library & a librarian, to help every single child find the books that will make them readers, and give them all the lifelong benefits of literacy. Libraries & librarians change children's lives FOREVER!

I know I’m annoying with a one track mind, but I would be eternally grateful if you would like and share my posts about breast cancer advocacy. I am appalled at what I’ve learned over the last year and a half. Change to our breast screening practices needs to happen yesterday.

You can read about my experience as a woman who had dense breasts but was never told here inews.co.uk/news/mri-dis... Always happy to connect with other advocates and anyone with an interest in breast screening
'An MRI discovered my breast cancer - without it I might not be here'
Clare Cowhig had regular mammogram tests. It wasn't until she had an MRI scan that her breast cancer was discovered

American College of Radiology® (ACR®) breast cancer screening guidelines now call for all women — particularly Black and Ashkenazi Jewish women — to have risk assessment by age 25 to determine if screening earlier than age 40 is needed. 🚨🚨🚨
