I was dx. at age 35, 8 months after I gave birth to my 3rd and last child(girl). I had my first mamogram at age 30 because my mother died from breast cancer and I thought I needed to get a mamo. early. My insurance wasn't going to cover it, but I was dx. with fybrocystic breasts. My gyno. suggested I repeat the mamo. in one year. I became pregnant with my 2nd child(girl), nursed her for six months, and then had my mamo. Fybrocystic breast disease was the dx. Breast cancer is supposedly in the body 7-10 years before a lump can be felt. If this is the case for me then I had cancer that could not be dx. with mamograms. Blessings from Lu Ann.
