Hi all-

I don't know if I am technically a newbie still, but I don't post often and don't think I have ever introduced myself to everyone. I was dx May 2 with stage 3C. I'm 27, so I don't get mammo's. I never really felt a "lump"...just some thickening of tissue and soreness in my armpit. I thought the armpit was due to either a cold or a pulled muscle. I'm active and in great shape, so I would never have imagined it would be this. I had a mast 5/11; 30/34+ nodes, 8x4x3.5cm tumor, grade 3, ER/PR-, FISH 5.16. I'm not married, live with my boyfriend. No kids, though I do have a long haired orange cat. I worked for several years in the restaurant business until I made the change to the wine industry this spring.

There are tremendously inspirational stories here and this is a great forum for sharing information.
