hi! my name is ellie. i am 30 years old. when i was 28 i found a lump. i went threw all kinds of test. april 2007 i had the lump removed. dcis was found. my mom died at the age of 47 of flew blown cancer and her sister died the same way at the age of 42.

breast cancer ran in my family, i had gentic testing done, then another surgery in sept.2007. i had tissue removed. to my surprise more dcis was found. i have a 8 year old and my husband is in the army. i couldn't belive this was really happing.

 i meant with more surgeons, i decided to have both my breast removed due  to history in my family. i'm told i made the right choice. i knew dcis was found in the left side, but about a week after my surgery, more dcis was found on the left as well as my right. my right breast was never a concern, but cancer was found, where pictures and ultra sounds couldn't find. i'm greatful to my surgeons! i am undergoing recontrion now. sometimes it hurts so bad. but then i remeber my mom and how strong she was and just wish she was here to hold my hand.

please take care!

i'm sorry this happening too you. it took forever to find a surgeon that took my insurance. i wanted them too use my own tissue, but my insurance would not cover it. so i had no choice but to get the breast expanders. i would try and contact someone in your insurance company, they should had the ok before they did anything too you.

i would say i am in the same boat! my aunt died at 42 of breast cancer, my mom died at 47 of breast cancer and there only sister my aunt has another type of cancer.

i am 30 years old, i have had dcis, both my breast removed and going under recontrion. its been 2 months since my surgery. and my older sister is 39 years old and has some sort of cerival cancer.

this is happing to my sister the same time it is too me. i keep thinking what are the chances?

my name is ellie, breast cancer runs in my family. both my mom and aunt died of beast cancer.

i am also a army wife, in july 2006 my husband came back from a year in iraq. i thought that was the worst time i would have too live threw. till october 2006, i found a lump in my left breast, so i had it checked. really thinking in my mind it was nothing. after all i was only 28 years old. i had all kinds of test, nobody knew what to do with me. so in april 2007 i had the lump removed. still thinking nothing is wrong with me. 3 weeks later, i was told it was dcis.more test happend. then in in sept, 2007 i had tissued removed from where the lump was, still again really thinking i was done. yet again more dcis. i'm 30 years old at this point.

march 11,1993 is the day my mom died of breast cancer, march 11, 2008 is the day i had both my breast removed. i have expanders on both sides, i have had 9 injections on both sides so far. and sometimes i can not belive how bad it hurts. i'm told there should be no pains. sometimes it hurts so bad i can't leave the house. my suregon says one more fill this june, then in august i will have real implants.
