    48 here.  I don't know how long I had b/c, but fewer than 8 years.  I have a student in my class who recently had a lumpectomy; she is in her early 20s. We walk together (with my teaching assistant) out of the building and outside, before we go our separate ways, and talk about how our treatment is going.

    Diagnosed in October 2007.  I'm 48.  Surgeon either wouldn't or couldn't tell me how long my cancer had been there.  She did say "quite some time."  I have no family history.  I'm convinced this disease is environmental and stress related. (Just my opinion)  I'm going through chemo right now.  Should be finished just before my 49th birthday.

    Hi,

    I was diagnosed in October 2006.  I turned 50 in November 2006.  It was not a good birthday present.  It was 1.1 cm in size and my surgeon said it probably had been there for 10 years however it never showed up on the yearly mammograms.

    I was, and am 46 yrs old and was diagnosed november 2007.  IDC 1.2 and 1.8 barbell shaped, and DCIS in same breast which is my left.  Mastectomy in late april or early may.  I have had no surgery yet, but am on #5 of 6 chemo treatments tomorrow. 

    I too thought I was too young for this.  Amazing how many of us are so young. I think it is due to early detection and the older ones not taking advantage of the computer.

    I am 62 years young Smile and just got my news on Monday that I have IDC. They thought at first it was DCIS. I have to see my surgeon again next Tuesday as they now have to do a SNB to make sure it hasn't spread.
