brca negative
32 IIb
33 lung mets, 4 months later brain mets
Triple negative is a scary beast, especially for the young it seems.

49, 2 months before I turned 50. stage IV. Lump began above breast which would be above mammo line of detection. No family history.
We should create a full blown report of this data including size of tumor and send it into the news for a report for this and every October, then everyone would truly see what women (& men & of course, our loved ones, because cancer is a family event) are dealing with! Maybe more work would be done in finding a cure? IDK, so frustrated for all of us. This is a crappy way to live (or to die). I told my oncologist I would rather have an anvil fall on my head, then I apologized.

Age 45 stage IV from starting gate, 4 cm mass, lung mets
Regular mammograms, no family history

I was misdiagnosed at 35, correctly diagnosed at 40, by then with three tumors, two different types of breast cancer, ductal and lobular. Stage 4 diagnosis at 55, discovered lung tumor during pre-op testing for surgical removal of ruptured implants, further testing revealed more mets. Lucky to still be here, I guess....long time to have this in my life.

First diagnosed at 44, mets now at 47. Mammograms every year since I was 20, the year my 31 year old sister died of BC. Also have another sister who was diagnosed when she was 38, but is a 22 year survivor and still going strong. We are BRCA - but I am meeting with the genetic team again this week. Apparently, there is a new gene identified they want to test me for. I certainly hope there is something that will spare my daughter from this road!
Mammogram never showed my tumor, but with my family history they took the palpable lump seriously from the start and it showed up on the MRI. We treated my first diagnosis very aggressively, and I intend to fight this new diagnosis with all I have.
I'm not a big believer in "catching it early" at this point. I've been diligent for 27 years, found my tumor myself, and still have mets. Enough with the "awareness" campaign, and let's find a cure!!!!
