    When I was first diagnosed with breast cancer was 10 days aftermy 41st leading to a lumpectomy where of the 6 nodes taken 5 were cancerous, they didn't get it all so fortnight later a radical mastectomy took place and chemo/ rads followed; 2006 at 43 lost right breast and bi-lateral reconstruction and then palliative recurrence was last year at 48 so back to palliative chemo and there is palliative pain relieving hopefully Rt in the futre as my days are spent in great pain inspite of the big doses of pain relief  I am on.

    I was 43. The tumour appeared in the same place as a huge "benign" lump that had been removed ten years earlier.

    Reading these posts I am amazed at how long this stinking disease can linger in the body before mets are dx-ed. It really is the gift that keeps on giving.

    Best wishes to all.

    Had the lump at age 46, did nothing till age 47, stage 1. Was DCIS and IDC, grade 3, so makes me wonder had I gotten it looked at when I first felt it 1.5 yrs earlier, would it have been at DCIS only or a lower grade or both? I was an idiot, but no cancer in my family of any kind on either side, and smal dense lumpy breasts, I blew it off. Now I know dense breasts are a risk factor. Have passed the word around to all women I know.

    43  1st diagnosis but had felt mass several  years prior and mamo stated negatve until age 43 then dx with mets to bone  12/2011 at age 57 after several years of being passed from dr to dr to find out what was causing back pain. 1st in family with breast cancer, I should have been a better advocate for myself both times. Now I trust no Dr and the new guidelines are totally ridiculous in my opinion. now I know I should have had an ultrasound after 1st mamo. When I was trying to find about back pain my tumor markers were elevated and never had been in all those years so I wnt to 2 different oncos although one ordered  PET SCAN THAT WAS PROMTLY DENIED BY MY INSURANCE both told me not to worry about them .I was then sent to rhuematolgist and cardiologist. My bone mets was an incidental finding fom a ct a pulmonary dr who thought back pain might be due to lungs. sorrr for the rambling answer to your simple question.
