Young women and breast cancer
Hi everyone
I have recently started blogging about my experience with breast cancer as a young woman. I know there is another forum targeted at young women but I do definitely feel there needs to be more awareness about young women and breast cancer risk. I have met far too many women my age or younger that have been diagnosed and without a family history.
If anyone is interested in reading my blog: https://carlysfighttowin.wordpress.com/
i talk about chemo,being a mum, getting through and the importance of exercise as well as sharing healthy recipes. Feel free to have a click. I hope some of the information is helpful x
