How old were you?

I was dx on 6-3-08 at the age of 42. Lumpectomy and radiation.

I was 2 months shy of 49 years of age - perimenopausal for the past 2 years.

41

I was diagnosed last September at 61, but the doctor thinks the tumors may have been there for 6-8 years.  Am currently doing chemo and then 33 rads.  Will be 62 before treatment is complete.

I was 50 years + 1 month. I would not repeat age 50 again if you paid me . . . Oh, and irony of irony - I got my diagnosis on the first day of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

My MIL had been just DX - 03-09-2009. She is 69.

Just come here for support Lena.  You can do it!  It seems nearly impossible at the beginning but you will do it and become stronger.  There are tons of amazing ladies here who are willing to help you every step of the way!!  Best of luck with the chemo.

Dx at age 45 in June of 2005 - am now 49 and am a 3 1/2 year survivor - NED!  I was er/pr negative and her2 positive and had a 4 cm. tumor.  Interesting to read everyone's age and how they are doing. 

Hugs to you all.

Diagnosed July of 2005.  Actually had my biopsy on my 51 birthday.  What a present that was! Lumpectomy a week later followed by chemo and then radiation.  Tested positive for BRCA1 summer of 2007 and had prophylactic bilateral mastectomy with  DIEP reconstruction May 2008.  NED and will turn 55 this summer.

45 years old....Dx on 2/16/09 Bilateral mastectomy, no recon 4/1/09

I was 41, and it was my first routine mammogram. It was fast growing but caught very early, before it got to my lymph nodes. It was by the grace of God that I went to the doctor when I did. I have three children 4,8,11.

I was 44, about 5 weeks after my b-day, when I was diagonised with Stage 2, Grade 2a, IDC. no nodes on October 1, 2008.  My aunt had calcifications and my great aunt, same family line, had bc.  No other known cases in my family.  It was a real suprise to me to be diagnosised.  I was always worried about heart problems not cancer.  I am more than half way through chemo now and doing well.  No rads needed.
