The Department Of Health introduced a two-week wait rule in 1999 for "urgent" cases of suspected breast cancer.
It meant those women should only have to wait a maximum of two weeks between seeing their GP and a consultant.
But experts have called for a review of the target after a study found a rising number of breast cancer cases among women classed as "non-urgent" who were therefore forced to wait longer than a fortnight
I am interested in spreading the word, raising money for research into finding a cure.
Heroes
Each and every woman who has ever been diagnosed with breast cancer and the friends and family that supported them, If it were not for their hopes, their hearts would break.
About me: Cancer is not an illness that distinguishes between the rich or the poor, the young or the old. We are all at risk, I think Cancer research is a fantastic charity, and the people involved in fund-raising for this charity deserve, in my mind a lot of recognition.
I've recently been given a HondaVFR400 NC24 and have ambitious plans for it. Firstly I plan on Getting the bike resprayed to run with the breast cancer theme. Incorporating the ribbon symbol throughout.
This is going to take me a while as I need to raise the funds to do this by myself.
Eventually once the work is complete on the motorcycle, I hope to raise breast cancer awareness nationally by attending motorcycle shows, carnivals and other events. A very large percentage of any proceeds will then be donated to various breast cancer charities.
The remaining smaller percentage will be kept towards upkeep of the bike itself.
Who I'd like to meet: Anyone offering help in any of the following ways:
Funding
Expert opinions, design ideas
Transportation (I don't ride)
Publicity
Fundraising Ideas
Moral Support
A HUGE supply of tissues for the tears and tantrums
