Poll - How old were you when dx with BC

Wow I sure hope some of these media people would use this list to show the world that BC is far from being eradicated. I pray to God to find a better way for all women.

58 Stage 11b

65 Stage IV

22 Stg.I

32 with mets

27, bone mets from the start. Doc did ultrasound and said "we don't see anything" and was going to send me home. I asked for them to do a mammo as well (since that's why my PCP referred me there in the first place). They refused until my PCP called them and told them she wanted the mammo done because there was a clearly palpable lump--which was seen immediately during the mammo. Very frustrating experience.

31 Stage 2

38 Stage 2

46 New primary other breast Stage 4

46 stage IIb

55 stage IV single brain met

24 stage IV from the start.

50th birthday sIII 

53 sIV 

46 Stage IIIb

56 Stage IV - Liver Mets

28, Stage IV with bone mets from the start.

37 stage 1

45 stage 4 

Not sure what I feel about mammos though.  I felt my lump and it did not show up on mammo.  Ultrasound found it.  Later we found out I had a second cancer not found on mammo.  Dense breasts are definitely a problem.  I hope there is something better for my girls!

After diagnosis review of previous MRI showed Mets at 48

My cancer is lobular, never formed a lump.

My mother had BC twice, my sister was diagnosed with her 2nd BC 6 months after I was dx, Stage IV

I have two daughters, 24&22. Older daughter has sought expert opinion. They have advised annual mammograms. She has discussed profrolactic mastectomies with her doctors and considers it a serious option once she has children.

I NEVER missed a mammo. This just sucks.
