Just turned 31 stage 3 was told I had mastitis for 9 months my daugher was 9ms old

31 and a newlywed - only married 6 months. In remission 17 months and having the final stage of SGAP reconstruction in 3 weeks. I had TCH x 6 treatments, 8 wks of radiation, a year of Herceptin, and bilateral mastectomies. I know everyone says the first year of marriage is tough, but damn! I will say that my husband and I have weathered this journey together and have grown in faith and love beyond words. God Bless everyone!

hi all, I was 42 and in the process of making wedding plans, I,m now 60. God Bless Us ALL.  msphil.

I had just turned 46. I have ILC, never showed up on mammograms until it was huge.  Breast surgeon said I probably had it for years.  I remember breast feeding my twins in my late thirties and feeling a pulling sensation that was very uncomfortable.  Turns out that was exactly where the cancer was!  Now 7 years later, progression. Sucks!

39, and I was misdiagnosed for 4 years prior.

43 Stage 1V from the get go - NED now tho
