    I am 59 and diagnosed in
    I am 59 and diagnosed in 12/09. I am have been in remission from chorio carcinoma, a cancer that starts where the placenta is attached to the uterus, for 30 years. Was diagnosed with that when I was 29 shortly after my third pregnancy. I thought I had already "been there done that, have the t-shirt to prove it", so I was "a little" upset when I heard the results of the needle biopsy. I couldn't even feel anything where they said the cancer was. I guess I always thought I would feel a lump or bump or something and I have been getting mammos religiosly for many years. So, big surprise. I will be getting my reconstuctive surgery done in Aug and I will turn 60 in Sept. I would have never guessed I would be getting "new boobs" when I turned 60. What am I going to do with them now, the rest of the body doesn't match!! Not fair!!! I was too young at 29 and I am still too young at 59.

    I had suspected a problem and asked my primary care to send me for a mammo. Tech didn't want to do the Mammo....thinking it wouldn't be covered. She made some calls and then did it. Insurance denied coverage at first....that is until they saw the results were positive. Crazy!
