45 (dx in September 2013)

AZ you make a good point about how cancer ages us!!!
-
47 - clear mammogram (with clip highlighting stupid area!) 6 months prior, family history but negative for BCRA1 and 2, extremely dense breast tissue which I have since learned gives me a risk increase equal to family history
-
32 at diagnosis. Now I am 37.
-
40 and I am 43 now
My mom was 38 and Grandma (maternal) was 74
-
41 and the cancer was discovered from my first mammogram.
-
51 Diagnosed after routine mammo and boy does this suck.

39...Gyn felt something and said it was prob nothing but sent me for mammogram and US anyway...went to have it done and lump she felt was cyst but another lump was discovered on ultrasound that was ILC
-
I was 65.

37 - no real family history, none of the "risk factors." I feel too young to feel this old.
