Roll call: ladies in 30\'s NOT pregnant at DX

[jojo]

To me, it seems that 99.9% of ladies in their 30's get diagnosed with breast cancer WHILE being pregnant...

I am making a roll call for those who were NOT pregnant at DX. I am one of them (age 35). Anyone else??

hmmm...not sure what i count as, since i had a series of miscarriages (three) immediately before diagnosis. i guess you could probably count me as pregnant...weird...never thought of it that way. but i don't think anything like 99 percent of the ladies under 40 were pregnant. i think it is a far smaller number. let;s see....

dx at 36, not pregnant but nursing...still the same hormones flowing through me. That is why I did tons of research on selenium deficiency & BC risk. You need more daily selenium when you are preg or nursing. There are some studies out there...

Hi,

I was diagnosed at 36 and had never had any pregnancies. I've gotten used to the idea I never will have kids. I'm ER/PR negative and HER2 positive.
