Being younger
Hi ladies,
I have been doing a study with the cancer council recently. They are interviewing people diagnosed in between 18 and 24. They are looking into how they can make treatment and support groups...

It took three GPs and 12 months for a diagnosis, my age and lack of history in the family was why they said they didn't need to investigate further. According to them my lump was a build up of calcium on my ribs! I understand your frustration Simone.
I also agree with Janet re oncologist reactions and early menopause, not happy either. It would be great to have support groups that focused on different phases of a womans life. I have found it very hard to find a support group that suits me.
I do feel for younger women and the issue of fertility, I may have been older but I liked the idea of having my options open to more kids, should I choose to. So I really hope this works out well for you all.
I also agree with Stacey re friendships, many of mine have changed, some quite dramatically. It has been and continues to be a very Surreal experience no matter what age you are.
