How old were you?

I was DX at 46

I was 40. My 1yr. anniversary is coming in feb.

7 months ago, I was 46.

I was 47 at DX, now 48. The cancer must have been there for quite a while, but ILC is sneaky, and I had not been getting mammos, since the Euro-recommendation is to start at 50. Besides, I was too busy taking care of everybody else. No more of that.

49, BS said I was very lucky it was found so early as ILC is a tricky litttle buger. Didn't show on mammogram, hard see on US, finally diagnosed with biopsy.

I am 29, got the diagnosis 2 month after I immigrated to the US.

I am 45, just dx in March

I was diagnosed when I was 34, 4 months before my 35th birthday. Diagnosed in April of 2010.

I was 58 when I began this journey....unfortunately for me I choose the wrong Breast Doctor...so after I fired her......I went to one that was really on things....it took a LONG time to become emotionally healed.

I am 36 and was just diagnosed Thursday...5/31/12.

One month after my 52nd birthday. I hope to see many more birthdays!

I was 30 dx with stg.IIb, 31 with stg.IV

I´m 32 now.

I was 47, Oct 2010.

I was 46 when I went to urgent care about a cyst and mentioned the issues I was having with my one nipple due to chapping and soreness.   The nurse was concerned and referred me to a Breast Specialist who said it could just be a skin condition but that it should be biopsied just in case.  It turned out to be cancer - Paget's.  The mammogram (my first ever) and ultrasound showed nothing inside.  The breast surgeon I was sent to wanted an MRI done since Paget's usually is associated with cancer inside the breast.  The MRI showed a small amount of DCIS.

I ended up opting for a mastectomy of that breast and the pathology turned up one tiny spot of grade 3 IDC that was HER2+.  So, now I am 47 and looking at 6 sessions of chemo and a full year of Herceptin when all I was expecting is surgery and get back to my life.

I am pretty sure the nipple skin issues showed up over a year ago at the age of 45.  No one has said how long the DCIS might have been there but I doubt that the agressive type IDC was there for very long before the surgery.

I was 51 and was diagnosed exactly one year from my mammogram report that said "normal"  But ILC is hard to detect and I had dense breasts to boot so I was lucky I found it myself and took action.  I am going to celebrate my 54th B'day in a few months...
