Poll - How old were you when dx with BC

Hello Times 3:

Thanks for your humor.  I needed it after meeting with my radiologist yesterday, for the first time.  He ordered a PET scan before I move forward with radiation treatment.  6/18 nodes are positive for adenocarcinoma.  The pathology report states, metasis adenocarcinoma.  So I just completed chemotherapy, six treatments to shrink a tumor 7.0 down to 2.3 and surgery, a lumpectomy.  I thought I had won the war, only to find out it was the first battle I'd won. 

To answer your question.  I had my first mammogram at age 48.  It was fine.  At age 51 the xray found a suspicious mass.  I had the biopsy, again, joy, no cancer.  Until 18 months later, I had a massive 7.0 tumor in my breast.  I checked my breasts regularly.  Mammograms, biopsies, all wrong.  None the less, I hope the mammograms help some people. 

Peace, Patty
