Poll - How old were you when dx with BC

41 at diagnosis, stage IIb.  Will be 45 in May...

56. And didn't miss a mammo for the previous five years.

38-extensive bone mets from the get-go. I'd been going to doctors complaining about the pain (that I eventually learned was my spine crumbling from the cancer) for a number of years. Nobody ever looked any further than their prescription pad; most of them decided I was "depressed" and wrote out scripts for anti-depressants before I'd finished telling them what I was feeling.

I was dx'd 3 years ago yesterday.

35 (stage 2b...found lump on my own, was sent for first mammo) - 2000

41 (mets...again found on my own & took me months to convince docs) - 2006

My sister was 31 and pregnant when I was first diagnosed. After she had the baby and stopped breastfeeding, she had her first mammogram and has had one every year since. She turned 40 last October. Her mammo's are covered by her insurance because of the age at which I was diagnosed.

41 - had my first (and totally clear) mammogram when I was 40.  A mere 5 months earlier, found huge lump myself - appeared overnite. BCRA-.

43 - lung met

I was told they would start mammograms on my daughters by age 30.

Almost 62.  Had annual mammograms.

Found on annual mammogram....73

41 original dx

43 mets

FYI, several docs told me to have my daughter get mammo's ten years before she becomes the age I was dx'd.  Moot point now...she's had a lumpectomy at age 25 that was B9!! 

36 original diagnosis

40 mets to liver and bones

Had lumpectomy just before turning 31.  This was 24 years ago.

2nd DX was March '08 same breast  54 years old.  Had bi-lateral MX.....

TOO many young ones

My mother was dx stage iv at age 60 (2 weeks before her 61st bday), this was Nov 2008.

I am 39, found a lump, had mammo. and ultra sound in January, and now I am in the wait 6 months for another mamo. group.

47 the first time, 48 with my second diagnosis, 369 days later. My oldest sister was 36 and we are both BRCA 2+...
