Poll - How old were you when dx with BC

39 got diagnosed earlier this month. Had first biopsy 2001 fibroadenoma (left breast), 2nd biopsy 2006 (fibroadenoma), new lumps 2011 3rd biopsy (IDC grade 2). The doctor said likely it was fibroadenoma but since the lump was growing a biopsy was necessary! Mammograms did not detect my lumps even though they were visible through the skin!

58

Found lump 1 month after a normal mammo.  MRI/US showed  0.9cm IDC only.  At lumpectomy, also found 8 cm of DCIS.  Had BMX because no study saw the DCIS, so no way to follow after the lumpectomy.  (Also had chemo and on Armimdex).

hey I was 34 when first dx I am now 60

I was dx'ed with bc and mets to liver as initial presentation at age 30. SICK.

58.  Good luck to those who have had a recurrence and all others fighting this disease!

32....stage 4...mets liver and bones

 49, three months shy of my 50th birthday.

53, Stage IIIc.  Regular mammograms, dense breasts.  I found a lump two years ago which was dismissed with an ultrasound.  Just finished chemo and radiation, hoping for the best. 

I had mammograms due to dense tissue from the time I was 37.  For three years, that screening found nothing.  I found my own lump and was diagnosed at 39.  ER+, Stage 1.  I recognize that is an anomaly among young women.  We have got to figure out why young women are getting such aggresive cancer.

I was told that my recent tumor took between 8 and 10 years to grow. Odd that the yearly mammograms didn't detect anything wrong during that time.

25.  They wanted me to wait until 5 years prior to my mother's diagnosis, which would have put me at 38.  At 25 I was stage 2 with a 2.5 cm tumor and just found that the cancer has spread to my liver --- i would have been dead by 38. 

43 stage IV from the start IDC Grade 3 just found out 2 days ago with lung mets. I'm just at the beginning of my journey through cancer started chemo 2 weeks ago.
