First sign at 40. Dx 3 weeks later at 41. Just had mammo 6 mos prior and a year before that. Reports read "extremely dense breasts which lowers the sensitivity of mammography." I wish MRI's were routinely used for screening dense breasts.

53 - but looking back though my mammograms the "thickening" that turned out to be cancer was present in at least 10 years. The Drs expected the size to be about 2-3 cm -- it was more like 7cm. They tell me lobular is hard to diagnose by mammogram.

34 found the lump myself, but first doc not concerned. Good job I was! Second doc very concerned and breast surgeon wanted the breast off faster than I did. I learnt that I know my body better than anyone and I need to listen to it

55. Radiologist said it was on mammos back in 2002. Was never mentioned to me and went to the same mammo facility and Drs. Changed to different Docs and facilities in 2010. Glad I had fresh eyes looking at things.

I too was diagnosed at the first mammogram, which I went in for because I was having physical symptoms...If my life does end up being saved, I will hold my pagets disease as saving me. It's what brought me in. And it was a tiny little spot. Yes, the nipple was slightly inverted and the breast looked wierd. But I had lost weight and also nursed for a total of six years (so much for that helping)...two kids...diagnosed aged 44...now 45...past my one year mark....one more Herceptin to go...we'll see....
