But while the average life expectancy for women is 83, after the age of 71 you no longer automatically get invited for a mammogram.</p><br><p>In this episode, Victoria talks to Baroness Margaret Hodge, who was diagnosed herself at the age of 80...she talks about her own experience and how she wants a better deal for older women.</p><br><p>Brought to you by the Future Dreams charity, "And Then Came Breast Cancer" is for everyone whose lives have been touched by the disease.
