How old were you?

Me too; 49 at diagnosis in June. Turned 50 in September!!

Wasn't exactly the 5-0 party I was planning but I'll make up for it next year!!

Had DCIS and lumpectomy at 35. Also had radiation. Now 45 and invasive on sme side. Tested and am BRCA2 positive. Had hysterectomy & ovaries removed. Twelve days later had the BMX with immediate reconstruction. Still aging it very rough as abdomen is not healing. They cut a hole in it this past Monday. Will be 46 in February.

it was the day before my 42nd Birthday when i was told that the biopsy had indicated a tubular cancer, grade I but already invasive

59

My stereotactic biopsy was on my 44th birthday.  Radiologist was the first person of the day to wish me a happy birthday.  Dx 3 days later.  (Though I'd been watched for suspicious calcs at 42 and had adh removed at 43).

Hello sweetie, I was 42 and making plans for my wedding, I never thought about getting yearly mammagrams for I thought I was too young, and I was very scared and I thought those words meant that i would surly die, but I had my cry and then I went on to fight for my life I am a christian and held on to my belief in God and that HE would go on the journey with me and HE has, I kept my HOPE and POSITIVE thinking that I would beat this (Praise God ) I did and am now 17 yrs cancer free and I pray for ALL of US here also, God Bless.  msphil(idc, stage 2, 3 nodes involved, tamoxifen for 5 yrs, Lmast.

Hi, I was 59 when I was diagnosed. I am 61 now and NED.  SharonH

51,,,,diagnosed 14 days after my baby brother died of a brain tumor.  I finished treatment

August, 2011

Diagnosed on 9/15/11.

Will be getting new foobs for my 61st birthday in November! Woot!

Mom was 67 when she was diagnosed. She was a 20-year breast cancer survivor when she passed in 2009 of Parkinson's-related illnesses.

Diagnosed at 48 and am not 57.  I had a biopsy recently and was diagnosed with ADH.  I am in the process of considering a BMX.

 My aunt had BC and my sister did also.  I tested negative for brca 1 and 2.  Another Aunt had ovarian cancer and colon.  All hormonal cancers.  My mother had no history of cancer.  (Just pre-cancerous cells of the uterus.)

First diagnosis at age 32 and a recurrance at 55. 

1st time age 44, 2nd time age 48 - I am currently 48.

I guess as horrible as it is, I can call myself  fortunate compared to all these "young" women talking about their age at diagnosis...........I was 76, it was still hard, because all the "strengths" of youth are gone , but at least I was older before dealing with all the horrors of cancer.

I wish you all the best....................hugs, and prayers

I was 34 the first time and 53 the second (this) time.

I was age 41, single mom three kids. Now age 52 living with my daughter.
