I have a very close friend who is 3 yrs past diagnosis and she was around 31 yrs old at the time. Triple negative. She is also very active with a young women and cancer coalition. She is also BRCA1 positive. If anyone is interested, I can give you more information and you can contact her. She's a wonderful person.

ER/PR percentages
 

Becky,
I'm actually not sure off hand and I am traveling now so I can't look at my path report. I initally thought I was highly Er/Pr positive but when I consulted with Slamon he told me I was moderate to low Er positive and low Pr positive. I'll try to give you a better answer when I return from traveling next week.

Thanks for this thread!
 

37 at time of dx (37 seems a bit too popular here :)) On birth control pills from age 17 to 30 then went off them for my 1st pregnancy at age 30. 2nd child at age 34.

Re: under 40 when dx?
 

Two children in my mid 20s. Yes, birth control for many years. Stats in signature.

Re: under 40 when dx?
 

Turned 40 month before dx. Birth control pill on and off for 15 years, child at 23.

Re: under 40 when dx?
 

I was 34. I had my first child at 27 and my second at 29. Nursed my first for 7 months and my second for 11 months. Family history mother was dx at 54 (breast surgeon and others said that had no bearing on my dx and that I would have had my first mammo at 40... if I hadn't found the lump myself). I was dx 4 yrs (should have been 3) after she was.

Re: under 40 when dx?
 

34--three years out. :)

Edited because some of our sweet friends on this thread are no longer with us. :(

Re: under 40 when dx?
 

I was 36 when dx. see signature for other details

Re: under 40 when dx?
 

Age 38 and breastfeeding my 3rd child at the time (she was 6 months old.) I was taking fenugreek at time of diagnosis to increase milk supply because baby was a poor sucker. I still wonder if the fenugreek had anything to do with it.

Re: under 40 when dx?
 

I was diagnosed at 39, three months before I turned 40. I had my first child at 31 and my second at 33. No family history, but was on birth control for about 15 years. Rest of the stats below.

Re: under 40 when dx?
 

Just turned 39 one month prior to having symptoms. No family history + BRAC 1 and 2 negative.

Re: under 40 when dx?
 

39 at dx, super fit and healthy, discovered lump in shower. multifocal IDC, 2cm & 1.5cm, Triple Pos, 2 pos nodes.
I had kids in my 20's, breastfed for 12 months each. Never smoked, occational drink with special dinner, no risk factors except I'm femeale - mother 72 has never had a mammogram as she didn't think she was at risk of BC!

Re: under 40 when dx?
 

I was diagnosed at age 39.

Re: under 40 when dx?
 

So you just turned 40 this year! Good to see you. Love your picture!

Re: under 40 when dx?
