Hi @Vivianne Vanessa - sorry seems like an empty word when you get news like this. A huge hug to you for getting the news and feeling so alone.
No words can describe what you feel when you get a bc diagnosis. There is never a good time to be told this but at Christmas when the joy seems to be magnified everywhere and you just feel like escaping.
So glad that you told your immediate family as they can give you so much support - rely on them and try not to keep everything in. They really want to help and possibly don't know how.
There are many ladies on the site - I was initially diagnosed at 37 - and regardless of age you will find a great deal of support from so many of various ages. As @iserbrown & @rowdy said, unfortunately there are ladies who like you are in their 30's and wonder what the next step is.
I am sure that our lovely admin staff like @Jess_BCNA could also help with some others who are your age, bc diagnosis and looking to start a family.
Take care and my best wishes to you.
