How old were you?

I was just diagnosed last month at 28 years old.

I was 40, Stage II, and told it had been growing for several years -- the stinker. We found each other. An intermittent throb (kind of like a quiet telephone ring) on my left breast that presented itself first through my dreams, and then my hand checked it out when I was awake. Then came the visit to the doctor's office where "it was probably nothing". Boy did they have the wrong telephone number!

I live in Coquitlam BC Canada. I am 26 diagnosed June 2 2006, it is over 5 cm and locally advanced. Believed to have had it for 4 years! I have two kids Michael 11 and Emma 4. I am awaiting to here what comes next my surgeon said chemo befor surery! Have not had appoint with oncoligist yet.

I am 27 years old, diagnosed two months ago. I'm six weeks out from a double mastectomy, and every morning I'm in so much pain I feel like I'm waking up in hell. This sucks more than words can say.

i am your age and i just starte chemo this month.

I'm 36 now, I was diagnosticated in october 2005 (I was 35 )I had mastectomy dx in february. After the chemos now I'm on herceptin.

I found out on June 1st. My 29th birthday. I'm having a mastectomy tomorrow!

I was diagnosed in May, a few days before my 31st birthday. Had a lumpectomy a week later, and am starting chemo on Friday (7/14).

Age 51 for LCIS and ALH.

I was diagnosed at 60 ( so was my sister) with invasive........three tumors in left breast found on mammogram and then ultrasound. Same exact place I had a benign biopsy 18 years ago. I am 2b,triple negative, high grade so am being treated agressively with chemo(finished) and 1/2 through 34 rads. Doing great and feel great. Makes me very sad to see the young ages of some of you gals...........like my daughters. I worry about them.........

I am 34. Next week I'll have a mastectomy and then wait and see what the final report it.

I am 37,dx this jan.had mastectomy,did chemo.doing rads now.scheduled oophrectomy in sept.

I'm amazed at all the people replying to this message. I'm 40 and was recently dx'd and had a lumpectomy in June.
Going to have Chemo 4 treatments and radiation therapy (2 weeks 5 days on 2 days off) then tamoxifen. I feel sad to know we are all in the company but happy to see all the strong wonderful people that have applied. I'm encouraged..

I was diagnosed March 24th, 2006 at the age of 46. Felt a strange little lump one day, up high, above my breast. Turned out to be cancer. Had a lumpectomy, and sentinel node biopsy (clear), and was planning to start radiation. Heard about breast MRI's, and some nagging little thought kept coming back, again and again, telling me I should have one. Well, low and behold, there was another lump, hiding in the same breast. So now, 3 1/2 months later, I've had a bilateral mastectomy, am going through reconstruction (just had my last fill!), and will soon be having my ovaries removed. What a spring/summer it's been. Definitely unexpected and scary.
I'm so saddened by all the young women here! It makes me scared for my daughter. I want all of you to know that my heart goes out to you, and I'll be thinking about you and wishing you well.

I was diagnosed the day after my 43rd birthday, that was 2 years ago.
