It was my 53rd birthday present that I wanted to return No refunds No returns OH WELL I'm 55 now. -
I had just turned 48 -
The day after my 29th birthday. It's amazing to me how many people were diagnosed around their birthdays. Maybe I am just sensitive to it, but seems like a lot of us! -
Maybe we all made our annual exams around our birthdays? -
Nope, I found mine myself and I think my annual was in January. Plus I don't get mammograms at my age, although my ob/gyn does check for lumps. -

yep me too, i found that lump myself. I have no family history so I never asked to do mammo, my primary Dr never mentioned bout mammo to me either. I thought I have to wait till im 40 to do mammogram. so a few weeks a way before my 39 bday. I had planned with my girlfriends to celebrate my 39 bday n evrything, then one day in the shower i felt that lump, went to DR, mammo,US,biopsy n. I am scared to celebrate my birthday now.

Sparklekat,
Mine was found by mammogram..never felt a lump. Mammogram was done around my birthday. I guess I was thinking about the BC found by mammogram, not self-exam. -
34 and then 19 years later at 53. -
46, still very premenopausal.
Mom was 46 her first time. -
I was 60; Mom was 68 and sister was 64. -
I was diagnosed a few days before my 60th birthday. -
I was 43, my Mom had breast and ovarian cancer diagnosed in her early 70's. -
65..no history of breast cancer in family
