Poll - How old were you when dx with BC

35 - I am 66 this year.  Found lump at 33 - doctor said it was just a swollen mammory gland.  2 years later found lump in exact same place.  It was Metaplastic Carcinoma.

27    stage I - found myself two months after having a benign lump removed 2cm away from this lump

31    stage I -pushed insurance company to preapprove a breast MRI since mammogram reports always said ...."women under 40, dense breasts...." and what not - got the breast MRI and sure enough!

32    stage IV - mets to spine, ribs, pelvis-major back pain, thought I was going insane

I turn 35 a week from tomorrow and happy to be likely to be there

Very large "benign" lump removed aged 32

IDC directly under scar of "benign" lump - found it myself aged 43.
