average age of triple neg/and fund raise

No family hx but my mom is adopted so medical hx is unknown on her side.  I did the BRCA test but am negative.

39 when dx...

31 years old and pregnant

ddlatt,

Just wondering why you had double mastectomy. I am 56. Dx 11/9/08.  Stage 1, Grade 3, triple neg. My tumor was also about 8mm. I just had surgery yesterday 12/8/08 -  lumpectomy and sentinal node bx (0/2). Was it your preference to undergo double mastectomy?..

I thought I was going to be home free if my nodes were neg, but the more I read the more frightened I become about my future.

36 at dx 12/30/08.

I had a mastectomy and am waiting to start chemo.  I meet with 2 oncologists next week to choose who I like better (1 can enroll me in the avastin study but the other has a better bedside manner).  I have a family history but am BRAC-.

Hi,

I was 35 and pregnant when I found it. Diagnosis after hard fight to get "it" out was with 36. on January 9th I was finished 1 year (!!!) with chemo and radiation. Had taken the other breast also last year.

Just some BC with my 2nd cousin, so it does not look like family... had BRCA testing, negative :-).

Have CT in 1,5 weeks and I am getting nervous again.

Hi to Sweden!!!

hi Wurmi and Vickan

I live in Switzerland. I got the carboplantin here, You need to speak to your onc. It seems like my onc is pretty open to new stuff.

 38 years old, surgeon not surprised it hit young and hard.

I was 38 and that was 19 years ago.  I was a stage I, don't recall the other details.  I had Cytoxin and two other drugs I don't recall. 

I always thought triple negative was found in premenopausal women and that it was considered a more aggressive cancer.  So the incident of so many older women here really surprises me.

dx w/ IBC, tn at 44

I was 46 when diagnosed.

I was diagnosed TN at age 59.  But this was a local recurrence - in the same exact spot of original ER/PR+ diagnosis 8 years earlier. 

35 when dx.  Found the lump during the last month of pregnacy.

Hi sisters, I was 63 and that was 10+ years ago.  Just fine so far.

Hugs, Shirlann

I was 58 when diagnosed, Grade III on 3 measures, 9 on scale of 1-9 in likelyhood of invading other organs. NO family history of any cancer except prostrate in males. BRACA negative
