Poll - How old were you when dx with BC

60 years old, Stage IV from get-go.  Now 64, living good quality thanks to a good doc and a gentle monthly chemo. 

36

42 for BC dx, but 40 when misdiagnosed.

Maybe a day before my 29 Bday (its all kindof a blur cause I passed out and was in the hospital a few days before the birthday and the actual breast lump was removed on the 25th I believe so I was already 29 by then!) - Stave IV from the get-go. Mets to liver and bones. Now also brain mets.

48

33 - 37 lung mets. I just have to say Smithlme, I LOVE YOUR SHIRT!!! I have to have one made!

29 Multifocal adenocarcinoma stage I. Later found to be BRCA 2+

60 DCIS stage 0, grade 2

Had a good run for 31 years.

49 and the 10 years of annual mammograms didn't detect it.

Hannah Powell was just diagnosed with Stage 2 Invasive Secretory Breast Cancer (a VERY rare form of bc) and had a mastectomy with SNB at the extremely tender age of just 10 yrs old!.........I truly believe the hormones in the milk and meat we eat are the culprits for such early breast cancer diagnoses......Just my humble opinion!........

48.  2 years between mamograms.  Pure genius.

I had almost made it to age 51 the first time.

Just dxed for mets at age 55.

I plan to be NED at age 60.

I was 32 /33 the first time. I found a long thing lump near my collarbone and requested a mammogram numerous times and was denied because I was too young (this was in the 80's). I persisted for 6 months and then demanded an aspiration. Only after the results came back (which took 6 weeks b/c the doc went on vacation and didn't follow-up) did the finally do the mammogram. At that point - I had to have a modified radical mastectomy with immediate trans flap reconstruction. They didn't take me seriously b/c I was athletic and looked good. Even this time, went I went in for severe back pain - they told me it was a sprained back and sent me for PT. I asked for an MRI and was denied. PT made it worse.  In fact, the PT found a lesion and asked me to check it out - my pcare doc said it was just a muscle adhesion. The docs kept telling me how "good I looked". Months later I ended up in the ER b/c things were getting so much worse and they found multiple tumors in my spine. Twenty-two years later, widespread bone and lung mets.
