Poll - How old were you when dx with BC

Maureen813

I was diagnosed on my 50th birthday.  BS called me at work on my birthday to tell me. Then went to my 50th Birthday party.  One I will never forget

Age 43 at dx only a little over 3 months ago.  No family history.  Found it myself.  Tumor was small but I felt the thickening (inflammation) surrounding it.  Thank you, body, for letting me know. 

All I can do now is take good care of my body, listen to my oncologist, and appreciate my life as long as I am allowed to grace this Earth.

40 at first diagnosis (the day before my 41st birthday)

44 when mets to bone and liver discovered.  (Tested negative for BRCA genes.)

 Forgot to add in the UK, we don't get mammograms as routine until 50!

Hi all!

I had just turned 46 and like many have said was told it had probably been there for years....like a decade possibly. Wasn't psychologically ready for chemopause oh well eh? that amongst everything else!

43.  My daughter is going to be getting MRIs, which is what would have detected my cancer.  Mammograms and sonograms SUCK for finding some types of tumors (like mine!) so I certainly will make sure my daughter gets MRIs, or her dad will if I'm not around.
