    51. I'd had annual mammograms since age 40 due to family history. The tumor found was very small , 7 mm. Given that I have dense breasts it is a wonder they caught it when the did. Actually, they saw only calcifications on the mammograms, the radiologist was looking to biopsy these to check for DCIS in the core needle biopsy but found the tumor with his imaging equipment.

    23. Statistically, I'm an outlier. I had to be pushy for my doctors to listen to me. They all said I was too young for breast cancer. If they only knew.

    I was 48 when first diagnosed.  Had mammograms every year faithfully, feel lucky they caught it while it was DCIS.  Wanted to be done rads before my 50th birthday last June and finished up in May!  :)
