How common is breast cancer at age 35

How common is breast cancer at age 35?
I recently heard about a woman who died of breast cancer at 35, leaving behind several kids, including a baby. What would cause this at such a young age?

Although you would'nt think it is, it Really is that common. I've just heard about a poor mother of 2, she was only 32 i think, and had a new baby aged 8 months. She noticed a patch of skin on her arm, it was red like sunburn, she went to gp about it and 3 weeks later she died!!! Its very scary.......So my advice to myself and everyone else out there if you are worried about something, even if you think it might be nothing, get it checked out, whatever IT may be,,,its better to be safe than sorry.....

you can get it at 18. it deals with your family history. but they recommend for women to stat getting mammograms at 30 because thats when the percentage rises. so saying that you are 35, you are years after 30 so depending on your famuly history, your chances may or may not be good in getting it. cancer has no age. you have to remember back in the day, 35 was considered older than what it is now. people would get married at 12. now people get married at like 25. so their 12 is our 38. so yes, mid thirties start a lot of health care issues.

The chances of being diagnosed with breast cancer between 30-39 is 0.43 percent or about 1 in 223 women. By contrast the chances of getting breast cancer sometime in your live is about 1 in 8. The 5 yr survival rate for women in that age range and younger is unfortunately also a bit lower than with older women. Any number of things can result in early development genetics, environmental factors etc. You can potentially get breast cancer at any age there was recently a news story of a 10yo girl being diagnosed with breast cancer.
