Hi YWB, I was Dxed in Oct of 2011(at 27) with stage 3C. I found out after that I was BRCA Pos with no family history. I am doing great. I get scans every 6 months and all my Drs. are pleased with my progress and very optimistic. Technically I have been cancer free for only 18 months, but overall my lil family and I are doing great!
Hugs,

Lisa, I am sorry that your family has had to go through so much... definitely some sort of undetected genetic link I would think. But thanks for sharing because that really gives me hope that there are so many young survivors in your family. I am 29...
Best wishes!

Bumping this in case there are any more stories of long-term survivors out there who were diagnosed in their 20s/30s. Feeling in need of a bit of inspiration!

Hi eloqui - feel free to message me if you ever want to chat/have any questions (not that I'll necessarily be able to answer, but I can probably relate)...
Hope some more young (now older!) survivors hop on here...

bumping for the inspiration factor. Hope reading this helps other young survivors stay positive and encourages others to share their experiences!

I was diagnosed last year at the age of 37. Never thought in a million years that my life would be so topsy-turvy.

I was at the Living Beyond Breast Cancer annual meeting yesterday and met a TV anchor who was diagnosed over 20 years ago in her mid-30's and is still doing great! Her name is Lu Ann Cahn and she made an Emmy-winning story about her diagnosis. Such an inspiring story.

Hi All
I was diagnosed at 35 - not sure if that is considered young now - but I am now approaching my 51st birthday!
Time passes so quickly so make the most of it!

Bumping this in hopes we can find some more young survivors who are far out from their diagnosis. Need a bit of a pick-me-up!
