Would you mind sharing your age at time of diagnosis?

38

Just diagnosed at 58 with Invasive Ductal Carcinoma Stage 2 Grade @ ER and PR positive, HER 2 negative. Thank you all for your tremendous positive and hopeful information. On this site I don't feel alone.

47 Drs. thought it was Stage 0 but biopsy showed IDC was mixed in. Showed up as calcifications on annual mammogram. Did not show on ultrasound. My mother was 44 when she was diagnosed. So, I had genetic testing for a full panel of 87 genes. All negative. Maybe it is a gene they have not yet discovered?

I was 53 at DX and 54 at surgery

61 at DX. Mother was 68. Sister was 65. I had IDC, Stage 1b, grade 1. Mom had a MX - don’t recall her DX but no lymph node involvement. Long time ago. She had a MX. Sister found a lump. Her’s was ILC. She also had MX. Mine was found on a mammogram. One breast bigger than the other. I had a lumpectomy and 33 radiation treatments.

7 years out in August God willing.

It is disturbing to see so many young women inflicted with this insidious disease especially ones with small children. It’s epidemic and discouraging.

70. The "girl" part of "rockymountaingirl" is poetic license. Or some kind of license. But I feel like a girl, so I'm keeping it.

I was diagnosed this year at 45.

I was 45 the first time, and that small IDC was cured, after lumpectomy, radiation, and 5 years on Tamoxifen.I am 60 years old now. My MO assures me that this is a new primary cancer, not a recurrence from 2003.
