Youngsters? BC at 24yo
Hi everyone,
I am 24 and have just finished Uni. I was diagnosed with BC a couple of weeks ago and am recovering from a mastectomy and lymph node clearance.
I was looking for any groups or advice...
Hi Jane,
This reply is probably a bit late. I was diagnosed in 2010 at the age of 28. I had Invasive Ductal Carcinoma and my tumour was Triple Negative.
I'm single and had my eggs harvested just before I started chemo. They collected 39 eggs and I have 31 on ice. I didn't do the ovarian tissue freezing but I heard it is very effective.
I was advised by the doctor I saw at IVF Australia to not do the Zoladex injection as not many studies have been done on it yet in regards to long term side effects. I know that plenty of girls are having the injections.
When I started chemo I went into menopause straight away. After I finished chemo I came out of menopause 5 weeks later and my cycle has been regular ever since.
