51. I'd had annual mammograms since age 40 due to family history. The tumor found was very small , 7 mm. Given that I have dense breasts it is a wonder they caught it when the did. Actually, they saw only calcifications on the mammograms, the radiologist was looking to biopsy these to check for DCIS in the core needle biopsy but found the tumor with his imaging equipment.
