The left side -- infiltrating lobular carcinoma; on the right, ductal carcinoma in situ. This was based on what biopsies showed. After my surgery, though, the pathology reports were such that I was told my cancer is Stage IIIA. Cancer does not run in my family.
I was 57½ years old.
I finished chemo (ACT) July 16, 2012.
I finished radiation therapy September 26, 2012.
I had triple negative breast cancer. Stage 2. I state HAD so as to be positive. I try not to worry about it comming back. I do take care of myself well though.
I know I was in my mid fifties. When the doctor asked how old I was I replied that I didn't know. He thought it odd. I stated it doesn't matter how old I am until I can collect social security. So I told him what year I was born in and he figured it out. I got a degree but it was not in math
Triple negative, invasive ductal bc - stage 1, grade 3. Lumpectomies, AC/Taxol, 33 radiation treatments. Finished March 16, 2012 Age at diagnosis was 55.
I was diagnosed in February 2012, 53yrs old. This is a rare, slow growing, often missed on mammograms cancer. It is more common in children and men. It was guessed that I had this for maybe 10yrs before it was diagnosed.
There was no bc in my family either. They used to or still say that it is a big contributor, but, it seems many of us have no one that had bc before us.
2010 aged 53. Mum got her first of three breast cancers at about same age though as now passed don't know types one a lump, nipple cancer then
pre cancer cells.
Non Invasive Ductal Carcinoma.Stage 0.Dx 8/09 at 62
Very high family history.Mom at 21 lived 60 years,niece at 30 Survivor 7 years,me at 62 over 3 years and now my sister who was dx this July at the same age as me,62.
First time: March 2006 - Age 65 - 0 Stage DCIS (Ductal Carcinoma In Situ) -- Lymph Nodes Free of Cancer - Double Mastectomy because margins continued not to be clear
Second time - October 2009 - Age 68 - Invasive Carcinoma (one cell got away and landed on scar)
DX at age 59 in July of 2009 with IDC Stage 2a, ER+/PR+ and HER2+. Lumpectomy, one node removed with a very microscopic amount of cancer. 6 rounds of 3 different kinds of chemo(TCH 3 rounds, FEC 100 2 rounds and Abraxin one round) and then 33 rads. Switched oncs right in the middle of chemo. Did not like the way I was being treated. Well really the way I was not being taken care of.
when I was diagnosed this past April 2012, after a routine mammo, with invasive ductal carcinoma, stage 1 grade 2, er/pr+ her2-, no node involvement. Lumpectomy, 36 rads, now on Tamoxifen. I turned 49 during rads.
I was diagnosed with Stage 1, grade 2/3, ER+ PR- Her2- IDC in May 2009 at age 48.
Four rounds of TC chemo and double mastectomy and now on Femara. My Grandmother and her three Sisters were all BC statistics. My Mother and Aunt had ovarian cancer. Needless to say, I wasn't terribly surprised when I was diagnosed.
I was diagnosed with Invasive lobular in my left breast stage III, ER-PR positive on Sept 12, 2011. I was 53 years old. Chemo & radiation are behind me and reconstruction is on the horizon.
I was diagnose with invasive ductal and lobular with lymph node involvement in 1994. I was ER+ PR- and had just turned 47 - there was no Her2 at that time.
in 1999 regional recurrence with ER+ PR+ and Her2-
in 2000 mets to two ribs
in 2008 widespread metastasis to both lungs, pleura and pleura effusion, celiac nodes involvement
ER+ PR- Her2 -
