Lauren,
Interesting thoughts!
Now, I wonder about my case. I was 44 when diagnosed; 9 years out from having my last child (#2), pre-menopausal and ER-, Her2+.
No sign of the cancer on mammos 14 months prior but at diagnosis I had a 5.2 cm tumor. So, it was an aggressive bugger and not, apparently, some slow growing cancer.
Even though I was ER-, I opted for a prophylactic hysterectomy 2 years later.
My maternal grandmother died of pre-menopausal b.c. I had the BRCA test and it was negative. But, I still think there's something genetic going on.
My fraternal twin sister has not developed b.c.
Interesting!
All the best to everyone.
-Gabrielle
