Hi Tiffany,
I think you are allowed to cry as much as you need to because I cried when I read your story! BC is so cruel and I cant help but think the younger you are the harder it must be (though hard enough at any age). I am 42 and since my diagnosis (August) I have always thought about younger women like yourself. I get the 'why me's' regularly even at my age.

It doesnt really help with the list of shitty things happening to us right now though..but connecting with people that understand does.
I hope you find the strength to get through the hard days and enjoy some of the better ones without bc clouding them too much. I find it to be all such a process myself and I have had some good patches in there.
Please dont place expectations on yourself..do what you feel you need to.
best wishes to you,
Tanya
