    27    stage I - found myself two months after having a benign lump removed 2cm away from this lump

    31    stage I -pushed insurance company to preapprove a breast MRI since mammogram reports always said ...."women under 40, dense breasts...." and what not - got the breast MRI and sure enough!

    32    stage IV - mets to spine, ribs, pelvis-major back pain, thought I was going insane

    I turn 35 a week from tomorrow and happy to be likely to be there :)

    39 Stage IIIB...for years I thought something was wrong but my doctor just told me I had dense breast tissue and that I had "cyst" that filled up with my menstral cycle or ovulation period...turns out it was bull #%^~

    41 Stage IV - Did elective hysterectomy and both ovaries had cancer cell

    No family history, no cancer gene either....
