Oh no 😞 the good news here is that survival has never been better.

Thanks for sharing this. I was just chatting with a friend about how I’ve been noticing that more women at my workplace are being diagnosed with it. Two of my colleagues, both in their mid-40s, were just recently diagnosed :(

It's pretty shocking, isn't it. The recommended age for annual screening was just decreased, too. Starting at age 40 every 2 years. Getting a diagnosis often takes longer in younger women because they don't know to even look, leading to delays in treatment and more advanced disease.

what the hell, these numbers are like 1000x higher than I would have guessed
