I'm the same @Caz1. I was 51 when I was going through treatment. 53 now and I still haven't met anyone outside this forum and my support group who's been recently diagnosed. The only possible exception being the sister of a friend who I met at her mother's funeral. The average age of diagnosis in Australia is 62 I think, so it's not surprising. Give it another 10 years and I reckon we'll see more in our real lives.
@kezmusc Last week I went to a BC conference and an eminent speaker from Boston mentioned in passing that more younger women are being diagnosed, that they don't really know why but they're fairly sure it's something environmental, ie what we're putting into our bodies, how and where we're living. Outside influences, that kind of thing. There's so much to learn still.
