Welcome to the best place to get some help and support, but so sorry to hear that you are here with us.
I am quite a lot older than you and there will be some younger people come on to help with your concerns with young children, but I can assure you I was really scared too.
yes, you get told that breast feeding for so long will protect you, no family history, blah blah blah, it is all just noise unfortunately.
As soon as you know what your options are and can get your schedule of treatment you will feel much more in control, but the emotions will still be there.
Have you ordered your My Journey Kit?
Have you got a breast cancer nurse?
Sometimes you have to organise these things yourself, if it hasn't been done for you.
You are going to need all the support you can get through this so lean on everyone you can, ask anything here, someone will know the answer or how to get it.
There are a lot of downloadable fact sheets on the resources section here too, have a look at them before doing too much more googling.
Until you know what you are dealing with after the surgery, when the pathology comes back, you won't really know how aggressive the cancer is.
Your team of specialists will be very aware of how to get you cured as quickly as possible.
The thought of such major surgery is a nasty shock and no wonder you are scared.
Our first fear is of course for our families, and that brings up many other emotions too.
If it is of help to you, I have many clients who have had breast cancer at a young age that have come forward and told me since my diagnosis, they are around 16 years out of treatment and still doing well, so there are good stories too.
Sending you a big sisterly cuddle and as much virtual support as I can.
