28yo noobie

Thanks for ur msg.. :) think I requested to join the yps group ! I'm surprised at all the responses ! Xx

Hiii ya.. I've added you on Facebook.. My name is Mai Trinh Vuong .. :) yes.. I'd love to meet.. Is there like a group thing I can attend to?

I fully understanding you being overwhelmed.  It is so hard to take it all in at the beginning.  Make sure you take someone to your appointments who can take notes for you if necessary.  Write questions down when you think of them or get asked otherwise you will forget them.

No sweetheart you don't have to reply to every single post as that would be overwhelming in itself.  You can do a group one or reply to ones that resonate with you.

I am here for you and thinking of you.  I am sure the young girls will be in contact with you as well.

Thinking of you and wishing you all the very best.  Lots of love today, tomorrow and always, Mich xoxoxoxo

Hi! Thanks for the msg and support.. Breast cancer-taking control.. How much does this book cost? Sounds good cause like how u said.. Cancer language is like a bit wowwwww for me.. I'm on my 14th day since first chemo and my hair is starting to fall out already..

Hi Mich.. Thank you for your reply.. Yes I do have the kit.. To be honest I've been given so much booklets/kits/information that it's been so overwhelming and it's just been sitting on my desk.. The cancer I have is .. Lots of words.. I can't remember what it's called.. But they can see calcium spots scattered around.. And the cancer itself is about 3cm.. My family and friends been asking me what type of BC and I'm clueless.. Don't know what questions I should be asking my doctor.. I like to keep things simple.. For now I just know that I need to do 8 sessions of chemo .. Operate reconstruct and then radiation.. I will be getting a double mastectomy.. I'm pretty upset.. They will have to remove the nipple because the cancer had spread to the milk ducts? But thank you so much for the msg and support.. :) Do I just reply to everyone's comments individually? I'm new to forums stuff.. Thanks Mich!!!! Xo

hi missy meow 

I was 26 when I was diagnosed so I definitely get where you're at. It's been 12 months since my diagnosis and I've finished treatment now. I had surgery, chemo and radiation. 

Cause you're a device girl I'd definitely recommend Young Pink Sisters facebook group. So many wonderful women in there and it's a great place to share stories or ask questions to get super quick responses. 

best of luck with your treatment

Hi missy meow I wish none of us had to meet/chat under these circumstances, I was diagnosed 28th June 2013 37 years old, I've had my last round (round 6) of chemo Wednesday 13th November, it's no picnic but with support & love & the medications available you will get through it Good luck with everything I have found just reading others stories comforting & we all cope in the best ways we can at that point in time Take care xxx rach

Hi noobie Missy Meow :)

Crappy to meet you under these circumstances! Im 33 now, 31 when diagnosed. There's lots of us on the Young Pink Sisters facebook site. It's a closed group for members only so you need to be 'added'.
