    I was dx at age 36, just before my daughter's 15th birthday. It made me feel like I ruined it for her. :(

    After years of chasing this - four stereotactic biopsies, three surgical biopsies, two findings of ADH and one papilloma (and a partridge in a pear tree!!) I finally got the DCIS diagnosis so off they came. I was 53

    • 55 at dx. Just finished #3 of 4 AC then start Taxol and Herceptin then hormones. Seems like a lot for stage one but doing what is recommended to prevent recurrance!

    48 at time of diagnosis. Supposedly that is on the young side. According to what I've heard mid 60s is avg age of diagnosis. We may be trending younger on this thread just because less people over the age of 60 are comfortable with computers and he Internet than people under 60.
